# 'Don't Follow the Yellow Brick Road'

**While walking a marketplace an Ancient Greek philosopher once said: 'So many things I'll never need.' This thought became even truer today. Our civilisation is producing so many items, products, wishes and services a person doesn't need at all. It all became about conformity and fulfilling wishes created by the marketing industry. Most of us spend their hard earned money on so many literary useless things. Shops and supermarkets are filled from top to bottom with colourful bates we swallow like a hungry fish. Does it need to be so?** This colourful image was taken with the above thought in mind. Notice the abundance of colours luring us like a bee to a flower. When I saw the floor painted in yellow, I just couldn't resist thinking of the "yellow brick road" from the Wizard of Oz. Somehow, I doubt the yellow is there by chance. These people have done their research to the tiniest detail in order to make people shop more and spend more. Do we really need to follow that yellow brick road in order to fulfil our real wishes, the ones that were not created by someone else? Notice the woman in the background, at the end of the yellow area. She is dressed in black and doesn't know what to choose. Do not follow the yellow brick road. :D Enjoy!
