  Indeed. Make stuff. Sell stuff. Buy stuff.
  
  Consumerism is the idea that increasing consumption of goods and services purchased in the market is always a desirable goal and that a person's wellbeing and happiness depends fundamentally on obtaining consumer goods and material possessions.
  
  How to move past Consumerism?

    Pandemic helps us to do it:
    
    Move out of cities
    
    Remote work
    
    Use self-made and organic foods
    
    Be minimalist
    
    Remove all types of Ads from our life
    
    Live for happiness, not for money
    I believe the new type of human is more fool than old ones!

    I don't know.
    
    Sometimes I feel there is hope with the people that surround me, but then I see how others live and I just lose all hope.
    
    Also, maybe I'm just as guilty for having 5 kids 🤷🏻‍♀️
