There is a growing pressure on people especially youths on what matters to them. You see people pushing to use the latest phones, wear the best clothes and all that. Does it matter and contribute to our development?
I think this pressure can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, wanting the latest phone or trendy clothes can motivate people to work harder and improve their lifestyle. But on the other, it can create unnecessary stress, distract from real personal growth, and lead to comparing ourselves too much with others. True development comes from skills, mindset, and meaningful experiences, not just material things.
The way i see it now, a lot of youths and young adults have completely lost sight on what is most important. Due to peer pressure they tend to chase after things that are not needed more than the things they actually need.
