Sentiment: POSITIVE
As human beings, we're very materialistic and have all this stuff - furs and cars and diamonds and money.
Somehow, we have come to the erroneous belief that we are all but flesh, blood, and bones, and that's all. So we direct our values to material things.
We live in a materialist world, and materialism appeals so strongly to humanity, no matter where.
Our culture is hung up on and overemphasises what can be derived from material objects.

The 21st century is not about accumulating material wealth like the 20th century. It's already eroding.

Well, we're living in a material world, and I'm a material girl... or boy.
There's more to life than physical and material.
