Black Friday is just another way of celebrating that you are a slave that is haunting material goods. Goods that you actually have to work your ass of to pay (sorry for the expression).
The average person in the western world wakes up every Monday waiting for Friday to arrive in order finally once more to say TGIF (thank god its Friday).
This Friday many are waiting for black Friday to arrive in order to buy some of the products that they can't afford normally because of the high prices.
But when all you are waiting for from Monday morning when you go to work is Friday, then how on earth can it be that important to get a new TV on half price?
I can understand the short term satisfaction you get from buying something you desire, but let's be serious and start to see things from a long term perspective and furthermore focus on what really counts.
Spending your energy chasing cheaper prices is not the way you create a better life, in fact I personally believe that such consumerism instead is removing your focus away from what every individual should focus on.
We are all having a unique talent, then why not spend some time every day in order to improve that unique talent? After all focusing on our talent and our skills might lead us to a life that isn't all about reaching Friday.
Seeing pictures of how people are behaving on black Friday says a lot about their psychology.
Somehow the desperation of people seems as if they are starving, and can't survive without these products.
You can perhaps suggest that people are starving, but from a spiritual perspective since chasing products with such a fanaticism is something a sane person wouldn't do.
Of course people have the right to spend their money as they wish, after all they earned them, but in case you want to spend money then why not travel somewhere and experience something that you will remember for life? Such as seeing the Northern lights or whatever you really dream of experiencing once. Stopping your consumerism for a period will make you save the money you need in order to experience something big.
Anyway this is just my opinion, and I would look forward to hear what your opinion is about black Friday.
Finally I would also like to admit that I myself for years was buying many irrelevant and expensive material goods until I realized that it didn't lead me anywhere.
