Lynda,
That’s the sad reality happening now. I hope more and more people realize it before falling even deeper into materialism.

Great post: thank you.

Reading it, I realized that what people might be seeking when they over-accumulate is not so much more stuff as the right stuff—which usually relates to being or doing rather than to having. If they haven’t figured that out for themselves, though, they may just keep buying and collecting. In a sense, they’re using materialism to try to cover a hole that can never be filled with material goods. Sad.

Grampa Ken,
The corporate machines are indeed a strong force in the opposite direction. It’s difficult not to love stuff when we are bombarded with ads all day long. It will be great if we can have the movement you describe.

Eduard,
I can attest that what you’re saying is true. In a sense, it’s like an addiction.
