I've always said "I work to live, I don't live to work." The older I get, the more I work to try to get to a lifestyle similar to the one you talk about. THAT is life, not working our lives away to afford more things we will just throw away.

Love this authoritative yet laid back breakdown. People have learned to work for Gucci and associate THAT with happiness, what a surprise when they don’t feel content. The band plays on a stage instead of creating a radius surrounded by joyful dance. Doom and Gloom is the norm for a society based on empty status. Yet it persists without unilateral question.
Just a few….say “no thanks, I’m not playing that want-more game….”
It is deeply depressing, to TRULY grasp how poor our current state of society is…helps to align with like minded individuals and try in small but mighty ways to build healthier communities.
