After our first night there, we were told by the golf tournament organizers that they wanted to move everyone into a BIGGER and BETTER villa for the next two nights. And we were like ... "Uh, why???" I tried to make our case by saying it was not necessary, that we were happy where we were, and didn't need 'better and bigger.' We were already offered beautiful - and truly, that was enough. It was a free villa and free vacation, for Pete's sake! No need to take advantage of the resort owner's kindness.

In spite of our protests, the resort staff ended up moving our entire group to the bigger villas the next day. It just felt so greedy. (One of the staff members even accompanied me to our villa while Hubs was playing in the golf tournament to pack up all of my husband's belongings!)

Since the trip, I keep returning to this "materialistic mode" concept. It seems to be a common thread in our American society, that's a certainty. Greedy humans always wanting bigger, better, shinier, newer, and certainly, with a great sale price! Next ... more ... GIMME MORE!

Is it ever enough right here, right now, with what we have? People even physically HURT each other  to grab items in retail stores. WHAT IS THAT? (Do I have to get Judgmental Judy on this case?)
