Material stuff who needs it?
Oh yeah, you need a new car, you need a larger house, you need a new computer, you need...you need...and so it goes.
Lulling you into believing you need a host of material stuff to be happy, the greedy capitalist injects your minds with a steady dose of advertisements and collusive writers. And after a while you become numb in differentiating between what is reality and myth. So you become a spendaholic.
Drugged into believing you need cheap things, the "dollars stores", "close out sales" "clearance", etc. keep up the daily onslaughts on your mind. Spending brings you euphoric "highs" that wears off by the time you get home. Then the real frustrations kicks in and you spew vile adjectives at your spouse and children. Your anger churns up a steady cauldron of hate for every little issue.
Everyday leads you to more frustrations as you become more and more indebted and poorer. But there is no turning back, you have already swallowed hook, line and sinker.
What can you do?
Step back and recognize that you were deceived into believing you needed "stuff" that you really did not need. Recognized a trick was played on your mind. And you were duped, drugged and lulled into believing you needed stuff to make you happy, when in fact that was a LIE!
You don't need stuff to make you happy.
Your family is your real source of happiness. Time with God will bring you indescribable joy. Quality time with friends will help you to be wholesome and relaxed.
Find things to do to make others happy.
Plant a garden. Paint a house or draw a picture.
Become part of a charitable organization.
Think of something good to say to someone.
Finally give away what you have got to the needy! STOP the spending, and watch your live gets better and better, debt free! You DON'T need "all" material things to be happy or to make your family happy. Just spend time with your family. Go for a walk. And you and your family will be happy!
