They say rushing at work is the first road to shit. When the student was quickly busy and he made the material assigned to the lesson ahead of schedule, the teacher immediately gave him another assignment. After some time, one of the students could not stand it and asked:
-Why, when someone hurries up, they are immediately given new material and cannot rest, while others continue to fumble with the old task? Why is it not included in the final grade, because only tests, homework, and answers count anyway?
Then the teacher replied:
-You see, you are already on the threshold of adulthood, this year you have a high school diploma. Well, this is what real life looks like when you are an adult. Let this be a lesson for you for your future life.
Do you agree with that? 😉
The cult of money and the rat race in conditions of constant scarcity, low wages, and exploitation, created predatory people, detached from nature and fascinated by the possession, amassing, and bragging of goods.
Consumerism - the attitude of the unjustified acquisition of material goods and services, or the view that consumption is considered a determinant of the quality of life (or the most important, or the only value) - hedonistic materialism.
I think the time has come for us humans to finally stop being slaves to shopaholism. That we would realize how toxic and debilitating this addiction is. That we separate ourselves from this form of functioning in which objects are of the highest rank.
To tell the truth, it scares me how it all looks like now. When I go shopping - very rarely, I avoid it like fire - it's in the process until I'm suffocating from excess and chaos. I am suffocating from the constant temptation and manipulation in the stores. I feel cornered by something that harms and enslaves - by unnecessary products, and by people who are there in the hypnotized puppet version, for whom the purpose of possession is the overriding goal. In the past, we had access to maybe 10% of what is available today, and how was it? Contrary to appearances, it is much better and lighter. Why? Because you lived yourself, your surroundings - family, nature, and what the day brought. It's all gone way too far. How many times? About 30 years old.
I managed to live in a time when excessive consumerism was just beginning to spread. As a child, I had fairly quick access to various news. I remember when Dad brought better and better gadgets, clothes, sweets, and the like with every return from abroad. Wow! How much joy and satisfaction it was! But ... It was then, in many families, that the process of making pleasure and self-worth dependent on the number of possessed objects developed. And did this process really bring good to our lives? In retrospect, can you see that it is better in terms of being human and experiencing our earthly existence? Not! Definitely not! Today, you can clearly see the differences between what the way of life looked like before the technological and consumer frenzy, and what it looks like now. You can see, hear and feel how much damage this has caused in ourselves and in our environment - in our main home called the planet Earth. We seem to be developing, but also in many respects we are regressing, we are destroying
A dozen or so years ago, free, spontaneous meetings, whether at home, in the countryside, or in the city - to play cards, talk, sing, enjoy yourself, eat, freedom to be here and now - that was the goal and the norm. As well as a tiny black and white TV set with a knob to search for a program or a regular telephone, it gave more satisfaction than all these modern devices. Today, as standard, we have to shine in salons, and artificiality, creating an atmosphere according to shallow rules such as - who has better, who has more, who has dressed up in more luxurious rags, or who has achieved more in the professional arena.
In short -> one big - sorry - SHIT! And we largely do this to ourselves! We let ourselves be sucked into this muck, deeper and deeper. Because we believed the disgusting lies that surround us from everywhere.
Therefore, you should ask yourself whether we really need these new clothes, new gadgets, new interior design, etc., etc.? And does it all have to be branded, the most popular - in my reasoning that is the most deceiving? For me, items, especially clothes with the logo of more expensive companies, are something - no offense - for Suckers .. For people who believed that the purchase of these items would increase their value as people - that they would be better, more fun, and that their life would be better. made sense ..
Do you not see what it really is? Well, it's mainly about fooling us all! For shallow satisfaction of insignificant needs! It is constant use of worthless jammers. Consisting in deepening one's dependence on something or someone. One big game of the rich with all of us. We fell into their trap completely! Losing myself, my time, my health, and my life. Forgetting about what's important ..
According to the scheme:
"Go work as much as possible! Then go ahead and buy as many as possible! Have more! Want more and more! As many as possible! You will be better! You will be happier! You will be somebody! " And it can never really be enough! Still not enough! The machine of consumerism, loaded with our stupidity and naivety, spins with more and more force. And happiness? Soon no one will know about its true essence. Because excess is bad for everyone.
Consider... Are the basic components of this happiness not enough in the basic essence of our existence? So, first of all, a sense of security which includes meeting the needs such as food, a roof over your head with access to heating, electricity, and water? A piece of land to be able to satisfy the need of the first with the help of crops and the closeness of good, honest, kind people next door? Yes - they are enough! And that's all! That's the whole recipe for happiness! Rejected by the majority choosing to live in pursuit of toxins available in stores or a dubious form of entertainment of civilization.
If each of us spent even a week alone in the wild, away from everything and everyone - in forests, fields, in the mountains - we would take a different approach to many matters. Approaches called gratitude and minimalism. And then this shitty love of shopping and the pursuit of possession would largely disappear from our lives.
And so, we are part of a cruel manipulation based on the desire for power, and money and identifying the value of an individual from how the rest of the community perceives him, from what the individual has in his possession. We live on the inverted version of the fact that robes do not adorn people. And in this cleverly devised destructive process, almost most of us are. In a process that uses one of the ego's main needs - to present himself best in the eyes of others, to be liked and accepted. Liked, accepted by what I have or what I look like? I personally choose to be hated and rejected rather than praised for such shallow things.
Where did this outflow of let's say of regret come from? Because I can't believe how much evil it creates and what this so-called consumerism. When I often see and hear what a person is able to do to a person and talk about how one of them has more and better. My blood pisses me out when I see people who think themselves better, because they have something that other people do not have. All because of the subject, money and / or job title. For me, you, who represent this way of being-functioning, are completely broken / broken. You are a pest in the system of human values and the creation of good between us all. And believe that a homeless person from the street has much more beauty and value than your person.
Get over yourself at last and instead of more rags in the wardrobe, better household appliances or electronics, cosmetics or beauty visits (often actually disfiguring), start sharing the excess that you have to help someone who suffers - someone in life for various reasons failed too good. And that's what will make you feel true happiness! This is what will increase the quality of your life! This will make your environment better! Because the fewer people suffering around, the better your existence and the general. And ultimately these help, support, sharing, honesty and kindness will free YOU from the quagmire you are currently in. Yes! You are in it.
Also know that being good, selflessly happy with others creating humans will help you. It will help you to breathe freely with your breasts, to have a good night's sleep and to finally feel what it is like to have an authentic smile on your face.
And as a reminder - everything that has a beginning also has an end. You will not live in the human edition forever .. Nobody really knows what to do next and or anything .. But is it worth putting yourself at risk and risking yourself for several dozen years of living in luxury with the prospect of a probable eternity in which money has zero meaning? The answer is obvious - NO, it's not worth it! Wake up at last, rub your eyes and understand that golden chains are far from respect, love and freedom. Begin to truly shine through your good deeds and behaviors.
