Superficiality

I hope I'm spelling it correctly..lol.

Listening to my Ipod last night, I came across a song named "Gallery".
Lyrics following this diatribe.

I can't tell if he's jealous the other guy has the girl, or if he's truly upset that this guy uses girls then lets them go when he's finished.

Why does the girl stay with him for the money? If she's having thoughts about knowing she needs better, why is she there in the first place? Did she have second thoughts?
I guess my question this morning is, why do we place so much emphasis on money, looks, and everything superficial? It won't last. Money will run out, looks will grow old, and superficialness will fade. Things like Honor, love, sacrifice, devotion, and loyalty are things that do not fade.

Don't fall in love with someone just because they happen to be attractive or wealthy or dress well. Fall in love with the person that's on the inside.

God broke the mold,
When he made this one I know
She's breathtaking but so much more
She walks in the room, your lungs closed
Making you never want to breathe again
Her boyfriend has got so much dough
So much ice his neck and wrist froze Is he faithful to her? Hell no
But she chose to be with him, shorty
Tell me is the money worth your soul
Tell me what's the reason that you hold on
When you know that dude has a whole wall of 'em just like you
And girl you're just way too fine
Gotta be treated as one of a kindGirl use your mind
Don't be just another dime

Because I can't take
Seeing you with him'
Cuz I know exactly what you'll be,
In his gallery
It's just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
In his gallery

She's so confused
She knows she deserves more
Someone who will love and adore
But his money's hard to ignore
She really doesn't know what to do
Girl it's just a matter of time
Before he finds another more fine
After he's done dulling your shine
You're out the door and he's through with you
Tell me is the money worth your soul
Tell me what's the reason that you hold on,
When you know that dude has a whole wall of 'em just like you

And girl you're just way too fine
Gotta be treated as one of a kind
Girl use your mind
Don't be just another dime

I can't take
Seeing you with him'
Cuz I know exactly what you'll be
In his gallery
It's just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
In his gallery

You're a masterpiece
I know that he
Can't appreciate your beauty
Don't let him cheapen you
He don't see you like i do
Beautiful not just for show
Time that someone let you know

I can't take
Seeing you with him'
Cuz I know exactly what you'll be
In his gallery
It's just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
