So many people try to achieve happiness in their lives by buying the latest tech gadgets. While there is nothing inherently wrong with consuming things, there is something wrong with the idea that you can fill the empty spaces in your life with more stuff that you don't need.
That's why the quote below resonates with me.

LG, that couldn't be any truer! That's also why we can't love others until we love ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI think one problem with consumerism is that it does not cause us to develop any of our most important talents and abilities, unless we number our shopping skills among our most important talents. But I think shopping must pale in comparison to, say, developing our writing skills, or musical skills, intellectual talents, athletic skills, compassion, and so forth.
