I feel our society has lost something... like I know far too many young people who cannot have a conversation without a smartphone, regurgitating some drivel they saw on a meme or gif as if it was their own. We have gotten extremely suggestable... as in we see something and we immediately want it or adopt it into our daily life.
It is a prison of the mind... we build this idea of need when really it is greed, knowing deep down it will do nothing for us at the end of the day; just make another dent in the bank account that in theory we cannot afford.
Funny, it is a prison we build to imprison ourselfs... we are the immates and guards
