While working out at the gym, I recently saw a commercial by the Saturn Automobile Company in which the theme was to “rethink” commonly held concepts within our society.  One of the perceptions that we were instructed to rethink was the idea of what “bling” really means.

For most of us, the term “bling” symbolizes materialism and the display of excessive wealth at its most extravagant levels.  It is a superficial and materialistic term that we hear everywhere, from the radio to the pulpit.  It is considered to be a positive term in our society and a goal for which everyone should try to achieve.

We have all heard comments like, “she is bling blinging!” when we see a female with diamonds and gold dripping from her ears, hands, wrists and anywhere else that is humanly possible.  So what if her attitude is revolting or her credit cards are maxed out in her pursuit of  “bling”.
