"Epiphany of the Undisclosed Desires"

In a moment of sudden revelation, I got lost in my thoughts and realize that in a world of constant consumption, not are we ever satisfied with what we have, had nor what we ever wanted. Satisfaction is unfortunately always temporary.
Living in a material world where we all eventually become material girls, as Madonna would say; one can never tell their secretive desires. We shush our hopes for what we wish we had possession of, because we know that less is more, but no matter what or under any circumstances, we always want more. Food, cars, clothes, shoes, bags, accessories one can never have enough; so it makes me wonder, when is it really enough? where do we draw the line between ok and ok that's too much? and who gets a saying on this?
The reason why I call these our undisclosed desires, is because we decide to shush them aware of the fact that others may not have the same opportunity to enjoy them as much as we do. Or maybe simply because we know it is a financial situation that we shouldn't be getting our credit cards involved in. LOL!
But when it comes to a privileged wealth, the truth of the matter is in a country like the United Arab Emirates, where the abundance of wealth and constant eye tempting treats are limitless; there is no one to blame, but to enjoy what good comes along with hard work and privileged inheritance.
Although unfortunately sometimes, when we get lost in our guilty pleasures, we tend to forget the true meaning in life. What use is there in wealth if you cant shear it with your love ones? We tend to forget that life, is not all about making the green paper ones, after all you may need them but you only live once, and the one thing money can't afford is happiness.
Disclose your momentary satisfaction, live every moment in life, live those moments money can't afford, before you wish you could take it back; appreciate what you have not just material wise, and be aware of the great blessings that surround you, one day you'll realize you are just as lucky as those you always seem to look up to.
