Consumerism, capitalism, materialism........doesn't the image of corporate exploitation form as soon as those words are uttered?
12:41am, among the aimless souls wondering the internet highway,
I wonder about the true nature and ideology of "Materialism".
In our modern day society it has become the ultimate identity of the "Western World"
A land of hierarchy and class division, defined by materials and wealth.
Corruption and propaganda a accepted technique of advertisement,
a cycle of dissatisfaction roaming the supermarket shelves.
We rely on choice but we have come to be manipulated by the cruel strings of private ownership and capitalism, mere puppets. We have been blinded by false expectations and affluent surrounding.
However as we came to worship these acquisitive tendecies, we have also lost the war of consumerism,
our innocence vanished, stained by greed and selfishness, we matured yet too early, the muted screams of reason all but concealed under the tempting offers of indulgence and luxury. We became hypnotized in the world of neon signs and aritifical happiness. I often wonder, in the barren wastelands of consumerism, can we find true satisfaction? Can we find the reinvigorating spring of enlightenment? Well I will continue this blog tomorrow....I am only 14, I shouldn't probably develop narcolepsy or insomnia this soon in my stages of life.......
Ciao, Goodnight, bonne nuit, buona notte, jo estet, dobrou noc, Oyasuminasai, Guten Nacht, and that is all of my linguistic abilities I can apply to saying goodnight.....Remember stay away from the temptations that arise from the cycle of dissatisfaction! :)

In response to Consumerism / Nihilism :
ReplyDeleteIndustrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment.
Industrial Society is destroying necessary things [Animals, Trees, Air, Water and Land] for making unnecessary things [consumer goods].
"Growth Rate" - "Economy Rate" - "GDP"
These are figures of "Ecocide".
These are figures of "crimes against Nature".
These are figures of "destruction of Ecosystems".
These are figures of "Insanity, Abnormality and Criminality".
The link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues.
The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature [Animals, Trees, Air, Water and Land].
Destroy the system that has killed all ecosystems.
Destroy the society that plunders, exploits and kills earth 365 days of the year and then celebrates Earth Day.
Chief Seattle of the Indian Tribe had warned the destroyers of ecosystems way back in 1854 :
Only after the last tree has been cut down,
Only after the last river has been poisoned,
Only after the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you realize that you cannot eat money.
