the consumer society [Theme] Page 5



Now the world culture is turned into an endless fast food. <...> a Huge stream of syrup with pork cutlets. Where are these masterpieces? <...> there is No creativity for a long time already! Give me brilliant books that shook the world over the last twenty years... They are not! What a brilliant masterpieces! They are not! They simply do not exist, because all prednisone to the level of consumption because consumption has become the main criterion. <...> Comfort actually kills creativity. Deprivation and suffering, they are, in fact, paradoxically, they develop the ability to create something real, because in this process, in fact, human soul is perfected and grows and comfort, oddly enough, it reduces to the averaged, so all scored a huge number pseudoculture debris that is not needed at all. <...> Comfort kills creativity. It gives you time to work, but do you have anything you can't.

The people you as a goal set a specific amount of money or things will always be unhappy. Always! For example, today a large number including those protesting actually live much better than those who lived before them in the nineties who lived before them in the Soviet era, but they are unhappy and will be unhappy, I assure you, because that's the pursuit of the horizon makes people, you know, "Homo nedbaliuc", I do not know how it is in Latin... a Man always dissatisfied with - that type of the modern world! Because they've been told that chasing the horizon is infinite. And it is absolutely impossible to meet his needs.

By the way, here "on the louboutins and dazzling the pants" is a very correct and very powerful irritant, an indication that no shit you don't know now. And how you live? You only have shoes on my mind! Because now young people particularly glamorous, rises in the hour of the day and says, "Oh, I have a busy day!" And artists, too. And when you ask: "what are you doing?" - I hear in response: "Well, I have to drink coffee, then I have to go there make-up done then I'm going to peel at some massage." Think: "what is it?! You should work!" And here is the consumerism that is now present, but kills real talents. Because consumers have no time to think, he just wants to get to. And no one wants to give. That's the problem.

Ambition is an empty shell, an illusion. We are told that happiness is inextricably linked to the possession of more and more fashionable things. We want to keep it away from our true human nature, to prevent us to rebel against all the injustices that the society administers. Here we do only consumers, able only to chase the dreams about things.

I reject the pursuit of material well-being, but I do not insist on waiver. Modern society is in abundance gives rise to temptations. But it simultaneously creates opportunities to settle. It creates the opportunity to have everything without having anything. Better not to have than to lose. Must be able to life to build so that it can be without having. Hence, it is necessary to establish possession than means at the same time the lack of it. It is necessary to establish what can be reduced needs to a minimum and what to develop to the maximum. And with minimal effort and maximum success. Learn to lose. Learn to justify their loss and finding her compensation. Not acquire, without which you can do.

Modern consumer culture - the epidemic of meaningless "window-dressing" - is a guarantee that the society remained ignorant and at war with itself, and also ensures that the income from these wasteful and unnecessary purchases, caused by emotional dissatisfaction, continued to support and justify the actions of the rich elite... the more you own of something, the more own you.
