re: #240 Pawn of the Oppressor

It’s also a huge cultural cause of unhappiness. People want things, money, cars, even cheap plastic crap from Walmart. Every economic level of our society consumes beyond their needs and means. The more they consume, the more they desire.
I’m realistic about my anti-consumerism though. I like it and it works for me but our economy depends on our constant consumption. I see this as my private little loophole to happiness. It’s easy not to want once you figure it out but I’m not sure it would be that great if everybody was like this.
