Wow, I can't believe what I just read (wealth=happiness / pro consumerism)

[dethman]

$$$ makes me happy. not totally fulfilled (meaning of life, happiness in life), but it definitely brings me joy when i buy crap. haha.

I must be one of those strange people who would rather be happy and herding sheep in Tibet then sad and living in a mansion in California.

No kidding. Why do some people choose monkhood? Consumerism is spiritually and emotionally empty....it just fills the void....until the next purchase.
