Consumerism

I was born in the mid-sixties and can just remember a time when people had very few goods, not much to do on a Sunday, and expected much less from life.

How quickly and dramatically it has changed in forty years!

In some areas of life we are better off, but measured in other ways we are definitely poorer for the transition.

I fear for the future if this rate of change perpetuates. I sense a trend lately where the negatives are starting to dominate the benefits.
