Hedonism

Hedonism, according to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary is a noun that means the belief that pleasure is the most important thing in life. The more I try to figure out the meaning of this word, the more I find it reflects me a lot. Born in a small town and spent three-forth of my lifetime in the town…there’re not much entertainment you could get in a small town and my parents never spoiled their kids with this things. I still remember, comic/novel, CD or movies were kind like a luxurious thing I could have in my childhood. Luxurious because I couldn’t have it anytime I want it. I got it as a return of good marks in school, that means I could only have a new comic/novel 3 time a year…tough or boring? That’s your call…

Now, when I can have money on my own, I start buying things that could please me…started from simple thing: novels, CDs, movie and lately I’m addicted to designer jeans and shoes… Sometime I question myself, do I really need so many pair of shoes while even one could last for years? Am I abusing myself with these luxurious things? I don’t know, but I’m sure I love good things as long as I can afford. Once my friend said to me: beauty has its price…is that true? I don’t know, but I’m sure you could tell the difference of my context about luxurious things, in my childhood and now…am I considered hedonist? I guess I am…I always love pampering myself with good things and pleasures…how about you? Above are my new pair of shoes...It's Tod's!
