[quote=Anonymous]I read a quote recently that I wish I could recall the exact wording. The general idea was: The greater the abundance, the lower the gratitude. I actually discussed it with my kids when I read it b/c I do see that it is true. The more tv I allow them to watch, the less they appreciate it. The more sweets they have access to, the less they appreciate it. The more .... the less they appreciate... Of course, we don't need to withhold all pleasures in life just to be grateful. But there is truth in the statement. I don't want my kids to have "the best of everything" b/c they cannot possibly appreciate what it takes to earn it, and from a purely pragmatic viewpoint, they simply don't need the functionality of an iphone at 12. So, it's a matter of over-spending for the situation. [/quote]
