Do You Admire Humans or Things?

This is the strange thing I notice:

We admire things [cars, homes, electronics, stuff] more than we do humans.

For example, we find Porsche cars more impressive than great individuals. We find Rolex watches more impressive than brave and courageous individuals. We find big homes more impressive than great thinkers. We find stacks of money more alluring than innovative minds.

Perhaps this pre-occupation with objects, money, and things more than individuals and real human beings is a sign cultural and social degeneration?

My suggestion: Let us focus on admiring people more than things, possessions. Instead of admiring things, let us admire heroes and individuals we desire to emulate!
