The Cost of Things

The 'narcotic' of consumerism entraps us...we work too hard and too long.. we are unhappy and so we reach for a fancy SUV with all the bells and whistles as if that will make us happy...and it does briefly...but then the extra car loan helps to keep us locked into the good paying job that we hate... or it keeps us working the second job that we had told ourselves was only temporary....Meanwhile, the years go by.
--jorge999/aka G.L.


"...The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run." (Henry David Thoreau)
