In My Humble Opinion...

Every block I walk, there is that stupid wooden wall around a house due to construction. Houses are constantly knocked down and rebuilt fancier and nicer than the guy next door. Never mind the ridiculous "keeping up with the Joneses" attitude that the Jews basically represent at this point. My focus is WHY. Why do these people feel the need to renovate constantly? Obvously, people are responsible do what is necessary to live in a respectable, presentable home that provides your family with comfort. If you need to add an extra bedroom because people are crowded, GO AHEAD. I'm talking to the people whose homes are already extravagant, but feel the need to make it fancier, and showier. What's the point? Once again, I do not know much about psychology, but my analysis is that these people are extremely unhappy with themselves. They truly want to grow and change on the inside, but simply do not know how, or figure it would be easier to do it externally. rather than quitting speaking Lashon Hora, add more $10,000 landscaping. That will fill that void for a few hours. So to me, all these houses just display insecurity and unhappiness. Yet another proof that money does not buy happiness.
