"We think we live in a world of sense-experience and what we can touch and feel, see and hear, is the sum of our reality." -Jeanette Winterson, "Imagination and Reality"
Today's society is confused between reality and fantasy. We live in a world that is materialistic. The majority of people that live in it live inside a box. They fail to see the big picture in life. The younger generation is being corrupted by the mainstream media. It gives false hope to many of these young minds. Because of this, the only picture of being succesfull contains goals which are not likely of being obtained. The goals usually contain making lots of money, owning a million dollar house, and many of the world's greatest cars. This is due to the fact that the "role models" of today are those who have all of these objects.
Emulating these types of people are causing a more corrupt society. On a daily basis, one can turn on CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC at any time of the day and find a headline which contains one of these role models digging a six foot grave for themselves. The true meaning of satisfaction is lost in this confusion. Money or possessions cannot buy happiness. Many of today's celebritites would give alot of their wealth to be able to wake up on a daily basis without the problems which constantly surround them. Happiness is what truly separates reality from immagination.
