Saturday, December 24, 2005 [[but the lies they say, they sound so true.]]


hmph. i'm not christian so i guess in some ways i'm not credible enough a source to comment. but it really does seem to me that the true spirit of christmas is all but nearly lost. go out to town and what do you see? lights, people out in throves, and subtle (some not so subtle) hints from all the shopping areas and centers to spend, spend, spend on more, more, more!

is this what was meant by christmas when christ was born? i don't think so. i mean, the wise men didn't just witness the birth of baby Jesus and said afterward "hey, let's go grab a beer at Wal-Mart". consumerism? capitalism? or just humanity?

and do you people really think that a simple sms could embody the spirit of christmas? i'm all for wishing your friends and family, and yes technology does make it easier for you. but how many of you people out there just SPAM your damn messages? especially using the occasion to SPAM a message to someone you probably never even talk to or see for the rest of the whole year? if you're gonna send messages, at least be sincere and message people close to you and your heart. i've already got 2 messages of merry christmas from unknown numbers and it's not even christmas day yet.


to me, the spirit of christmas.. has changed. no more the picturesque thing, now it's all about spending, SPAMming and what not. i'm not anti christmas, or anti social.. i'm just worried by this trend. huxley and orwell were right. damn consumerism.
