We are a materialistic people. We want this, we 'need' that, gimme gimme gimme. We have to be surrounded with things that make us feel good. Look good. Look important. The more things you have, the better off you obviously seem, thus raising your "status" in society.
But when does the fact that you have more materialistic goods than Joe Schmo actually matter?
What good does it do anybody to accumulate these meaningless things to the point of ludicrousness?
We are coming to a point where our seemingly instinctive nature to buy, buy, buy and use, use, use is threatening our comfortable and healthy ways of life on this planet. Actually, I believe we have already reached that point. If we don't do something about it soon, we will completely surpass it, coming to the point of no return. In other words, we are gradually speeding up the process of nonexistence, day by day.
