How important is shopping to you ? How many hours of your life do you spend money to buy things ? How much time do you spend for these things ? And how much time do you spend these things in your home ? In the future , how much time will you use up money in movie theaters , at parks , at drive - thrus , at shopping malls , at stores , at the gas pump , or at your desk bills ? When you add it all up , you will probably see that you spend a lot of your life stuff Consuming products is not bad . However , since we spend so much time it , we should look at it ,
Imagine that you have a week off from school or work . You don't have to go to the office or go to class . However , in this week , you cannot spend any money - no , no movies , no amusement park rides , no out . How would you spend your time ? What things would bring you happiness ? Perhaps you would take a walk on the beach with your best friend . Maybe you would climb a tree . You might just sit outside and enjoy the sunshine . Maybe you would play with your dog . Maybe you would draw a picture or write a story . Perhaps you would read a book , have a conversation with a stranger , or help a child read . You might sleep under the stars , daydream , or spend time with your family .
On our deathbeds , it is likely that experiences like these will be our most important memories . Why ? Nonconsuming activities are , not . They don't come in a . You make the experience yourself . For example , each person who reads to a child will have a different experience . The experience changes with the reader , the child , and the book . However , if you watch a movie with a friend , you will each have a experience . It requires no and little between the two of you . When you take a walk and have a conversation with a friend , however , you are actively an experience . The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else .
The consumerist environment we live in us to have packaged experiences . We feel that we must consume because we believe that is . When we say to our friends , " Hey , let's do something , " we usually mean , " let's spend money : ' However , we can start a personal revolution against consumerism . How ? By less . We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction ? Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences . The capitalist system can use us or we can use it . It's our choice .
