Ka-CHING! All this money and things

Enough is simply not enough anymore. Everything has been taken to the extreme. From luxury brands to our perception of those around us. We’ve allowed our economic systems to become our worldview, to steal our humanity and compassion.

When did enough become too little? We seem dissatisfied with our ability to live comfortably, instead wanting to live extravagantly.

We are in debt because we pretend to be something we’re not, and depressed because we try to ignore this fact. The crushing sense of relative deprivation has so many people in western societies dependent on anti-depressants. We are unhappy so we eat, we become obese trying to hide that fact.

When did living become about dollar signs? Have we truly allowed capitalism to seep into and steal our essence?
