Materialistic Oprah

"If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough." -Oprah Winfrey

We can get too dependent on our possessions. This can be quite common in young households where the kids run riot breaking everything in their path. Some things are easily replaceable; while others are older than some people we know. And it’s when these possessions get broken the ease to replace them becomes a lot more difficult. But if I have a house, I don’t necessarily have more. It could be destroyed and I may not have insurance so I may not have a house in the future. But Aunty Oprah wants you to focus on the people. But it doesn’t help the down and out people in poverty. They probably don’t want more kids, more bills and more fresh air because they don’t have a roof over their heads. But her statement isn’t going to inspire you to do anything about your situation. Unless, of course, you have thousands of pounds from a media empire and Oprah is actually encouraging you to donate some money and create some happiness.
