The use-and-throw cult...I won't tell anyone :)<br /><br />The use-and-throw culture is another aspect of consumerism which produces so much unwieldy and hazardous waste of all sorts. The waste alone may write the requiem for the planet.Tomichan Matheikalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037872309096060126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-25726631140174154992016-10-04T19:13:37.493+05:302016-10-04T19:13:37.493+05:30Greed is one of the basic human instincts.

The olden day greed had some natural limits simply because of the difficulty of availability of things.

The consumerism is indeed a bane, as people lose the value of things. Gone are the days, when the old Philips Transistor used to remind us of our grandpa tinkering with it. Nowadays, we rarely can find a thing in our homes, which are more than 2 years old, as we always get a newer model with better options and discard the older ones with its integrated memories. Nostalgia is banished and is replaced by novelties. It's sad in a way! A thought provoking post on today's materialistic mindset. <br /><br />Don't tell anyone I said that!

When we did not have access to goodies, we would look towards western goods either smuggled or when a relative visiting US or Britain presented us some. With e-tailing many things are available to us. We can also choose by looking at price. I think only when a person transcends his needs for material possession, he/she takes his/herself out of rat race. For others life continues as usual.Abhijit Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053181712880530470noreply@blogger.com
