consumption
is neither a way to happiness, nor an indicator of success or personality, or a "social obligation".
indeed
consumption is often a waste of economic resources and time:
rare and precious goods, which could be invested in a different way with much better results.
consumption does not guarantee long-lasting comfort and satisfaction
feeds unfulfilled and in the ongoing creation of new needs;
degrades the environment, human relations, freedom and inner wellbeing.
Exposing the compulsive consumption and the promise of happiness through consumption,
means to regain the ability to choose what is truly worthy
over appearance and styles of consumer society.
loosely based on the Manifesto of the Voluntary Simplicity Movement
