Esoteric Musings on Materialism vs. Immaterialism


Current mood:  giggly

Of course, there will always be those that say, “The one who dies with the most toys wins.” This is not a snipe to materialists.  Any anarchist will probably be unable to see the difference between the intrinsic value either type of person.  It is just a particular outlook on life. Many men say toys and other garb offer powers over the opposite sex, but this ideal only attracts those whom fall into the category of those whom desire these. Plenty of women display great concern over physical appearance, but could care less about a man’s possessions. Granted, an empty wallet is hardly if ever attractive, but beyond that many women feel that a man’s power is both in his ideals and his ability to defend his case that his way is in fact a decent way. That is a wayward man would be less lending to a relationship and more lending to a short sexual encounter or thrill, and those sorts of ideals weigh heavy in women’s minds more than in their mates identity, given amicable behavior. Undeniably, women who desire more than goo booger between their legs after a few drinks at the bar incisively prefer one type of man, materialist or immaterialist, to the other. Yet sadly, immaterialism serves no greater purpose than is exposable to the level of penis and vagina mentality. Though priests and nuns may espouse neutered philosophies, these individuals are rare and not worthy of consideration, yet there are some so engrossed in a discipline that mere separation of their attention for the purpose of orgasm may not fit them well to a modus operandi other than workaholic.
There is a boundary within a grey area of moderation, which many cross, never to return into the realm of immaterialist ideals, where things such as study or head knowledge, family and the view become much more important to a person’s makeup than what he or she might blatantly flaunt for feeling intrinsic superiority. Without question, the need for superiority is what drives humanity, so much so that one could scarcely avoid elitism when considering a biological model for human evolution. Not surprisingly, other academic disciplines examine the grey area from which humanity develops self-confidence, such as psychology or sociology. Mainly, elitism and a male’s specialization of it to his identity lays the foundation for determining dominance first among males and then to the opposite sex.
This battle for dominance in specialization occurs firstly among men, as women seem completely oblivious to this sort of competition, yet women are ever aware of the ramifications hierarchy has to a male’s ego. Foremost, females recognize the end of superiority tussles and that result is the manifestation of brazen confidence or lack thereof in a male, such that the need for a sense of intrinsic superiority is ubiquitous and paramount to all humanity even those whom prefer sense or auditory stimulation to visual appeal. This feeling is not unique to men, but is highly garnered among women as well, but men seem to not care so much if women have pride, as the hormones woman’s menstrual cycle will likely give her a distorted outlook of her place in any female hierarchy. Never mind sex to sex differences which focus on physical appeal.
Mental and social prowess cross gender barriers, just as physical appeal does. Suspiciously, since the entry of religionists to the world, trend is the likely factor here. A denominator of time might find a warrior of old paired with woman whom prides herself in keeping her curves clandestine for her mate just as historically common as masculine affixation of visual attention to the ass of a scantily clad woman on an exercise bike at the gym. Our focus on the physicality of gender attractiveness might be reducible to traits of sexual dimorphism, such as muscles to a men, or breasts to females, where the likelihood of appraisal is not skewed to gender diagnosis, so much as chronology.
Even if one has no grounds for claiming the achievement of lofty skills or purchasing expensive trinkets to attain regular intercourse, then the battle of materialism versus immaterialism asserts itself in different ways, such as nationalist or cultural alignments in the case of materialism or religiosity, such as fasting in the case of immaterialism. Consequently, from the perspective of reproductive fitness, there is no advantage to the personality type imbued with thought and mentally engaging conversation over one considerable as shallow and material, as both traits have consistently given sexual prowess as to attain several partners though the historical popularity of such actions ebbs and flows like the tides of the earth.
Peculiar though to an immaterial or acetic lifestyle is that when one finds appreciation for the beauty of simple living is that it is rare for one to cross back into materialistic ways, but many grow out of materialism with either accompaniment or lonely pursuit of religiosity, art appreciation, or excursions to natural living.
