Material Matters

Sometimes I wonder how some people can live the life they do and be content with their ways. Living a life based around what they see on T.V., what sports they're in to, what clothes they wear, and whats "in"; and still continuing with some contentment or just satisfaction with the way things are going. And i wonder still, do they stop to think how they feel or what they are becomming, or do they just never glance back to really focus on what they are, want to become, where they are, where they want to be? Can people be satisfied without wanting to know what else is outside our world? The substance of life is more than what we can see, taste, smell, hear, and touch. There are thoughts that can only be questioned and not answered, but is that any reason to forget about them? For if unanswerable questions are forgotten, what is really important can't have light shown upon it.
Lets pretend that the world is a place of importance and wonder, unconcieveable mystery, and that we're all really confused about should be important and what should not. That we're all just thrown into the air not knowing when we fall or what we will fall to. The only real options are distractions or questions. The only explination for our distraction is to avoid the question of what truly is important or what matters. Mystery isn't something that sits well in the minds of the people living in it. We can only question more to strike answers of questions with only questions to answer them as well, but we can forget so easily the questions with distraction. Waving a hand of sights in front of your eyes shifts the focus of thoughts undoubtingly. Questions are blocked from attention by tangible objects, and objects we focus on won't help us to discover the most important undenible truths. Nevertheless ignorance is salvation in the eyes of the questioner.
No one is always selfless, but concentration and ambition promote seeking. So it may boil down to yet another question, maybe the most important question of them all, why seek something if it means giving up everything else?
