[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth that nobody seems aware of (despite their elite university education and career success) is that our culture is designed to make you feel inadequate and to convince you that [b]material possessions [/b]will satiate that deep sense of envy. Basically we are all being brainwashed to spend money and consume useless products almost everywhere we turn in our society.

Even on this webpage right now I am being inundated with images and messages that are designed to make me feel envy and to solve my problems by making some sort of purchase.

The trick is to tune out the messages and outside influence. Don’t feel bad about failing to accomplish this because it is practically impossible. Just make sure to focus your ire and dissatisfaction towards those who control these cultural forces and stand to benefit from them. The wealthy and privileged few literally make all of their money by exploiting this dynamic and they don’t plan to change for your benefit anytime soon. [/quote]

Emphasis on material possessions, no real connections, making our country and society ill. starts at a young age. Have seen it inside the homes of families where kids used to go for playdates and birthday parties. [/quote]
