I waaaaaant it! 4 years ago

what? everything. I just spent several hours reading magazines and I want all the stuff I saw in the pretty pictures. Plus everything else in the universe. I dislike most of my posessions and I know more stuff won’t make me happy beyond the rush of acquisition. But, still… I want stuff. Despite having just read a book on Buddhist perspectives on materialism.

yeah, right 4 years ago

I am racking up credit card debt and lusting after even more stuff. It is so hard to stop wanting things , especially when American culture focuses so much on measuring success and status based on possessions.

Hooked 4 years ago

Read a book called Hooked : Buddhist Writing on Greed, Materialism and the Urge to Consume. Of course I bought it, ha ha, but to be less materialistic, get it from the library.
