People so easily lose themselves.

People can so easily lose themselves in today’s materialistic world where everything is go-go-go, work-work-work. So many days are spent working—whether this be a career, a job, or school. And much of this time and energy is spent working for things that really have no meaning—such as money or possessions. Sure, people happen to need money in this world to survive and buy their way around, but it really has no value to their souls in the end. And often, jobs or studying cancel-out any free, individual time, since most of this time is spent in mental exhaustion, so they just go back to sleep, ready to be up for another long day of work, or they find themselves in zombie-like trances; either way, they stop thinking about what really matters in their life—their heart’s desires. They lay waste their soul’s true power. That is, they focus so much on superficial objects, consumerism, or fake realities that they lose touch with who they are and their capabilities. They seek pleasure and meaning in materialism rather than through their heart and soul. But in the end, nothing comes of that. They just find themselves more and more empty with time. They become less creative and even their brains shut down. That is, some so easily accept a robotic lifestyle and do nothing to change, no longer dream, no longer inspire new ideas—no longer aspire for greater things. Their lives become nothing more than work, sleep, eating, and buying. They become monotonous, predictable, and dull. Their soul, suffering from no inspiration or rekindling, sleeps. And that is a depressing thought; I see it all around me. And it happens so easily. People lose themselves so easily.
