      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 🤷🏻‍♀️
