"American eyes American eyes, view the world from American eyes, bury the past, rob us blind.... and leave nothing behind."

I've been a big fan of "Rage Against The Machine" for a long time now. "Rage Against The Machine" is a rock band that was very popular in the 90's. They really are one of the greatest band's ever according to OrenStyle. The guitarist is Tom Morello who is amazing with effects and win's the best guitarist award every other year from GuitarWorld magazine. The singer's name is Zack De La Rocha. Zack is a harvard graduate and a modern day revolutionary. His belief's are very influential through his music and very relevant to modern day American lifestyle. He hates our country the United States and feel's we are victims to it's conformity.
I compare Zack's word's with the word's i was tought growing up in a yeshiva. "this is all materialism". What is this world and what brings us happiness? is it money? Would driving a nice car and wearing fancy expencive clothes make me happy? (no) Is it the party's and going out drinking and dancing? (no) so what does bring us happiness?
According to Zack i dont think too many thing's bring us happiness. So i disagree with him alittle, but according to the word's that will be instilled in my head for the rest of my life, family will bring me joy and happiness. My religion will bring me joy and happiness. Helping other's succeed will bring me the most joy and happiness.
All these material thing's will not bring us anything but headache's. I know that i write about them all the time and enjoy using them, but as long as I KNOW that they are just temporary and that I am a prisoner of society, I will eventually improve and we should all do the same.
