Jackson's+First+Wall+Reflection

Reflection: ==**We are so caught up in material possessions that we do not realize what are true fundamentals are. There is a common misconception within individuals that if something creates so from of attraction it becomes a need.** **We do understand what real needs are: Food, Housing, Financial Stability, etc... but the trouble comes when people think need and happiness are directly linked. the idea for most people is that if they can buy a new car it will make you happy.****We feel that we have to have every new thing to make us happy when the truth is it doesn't make us feel any different in the long run. this notion of the american dream has become completely materialistic. in our opinions we can't be happy without a lot of stuff.**people describe what their american dream is. while it might rational they all agree that they have not reached it yet. we never reached our goal because the feeling we expect to receive from this achievement doesn't live up to expectations. The american dream is called a dream because only when sleeping it can really be achieved.== == If it wasn't for the mist we could see your home across the bay...
