dog eat dog world

Greed, envy, sloth, pride and gluttony: these are not vices anymore. No, these are marketing tools. Lust is our way of life. Envy is just a nudge towards another sale. Even in our relationships we consume each other, each of us looking for what we can get out of the other. Our appetites are often satisfied at the expense of those around us. In a dog-eat-dog world we lose part of our humanity.

Who is king?

In our amazing world of convenience every individual is king, ruler of his pocketbook. Yet, in many ways the modern consumer looks more like a slave to fashion than a true autonomous sovereign.

True Value?

We have been fooled if we see the worth of a forest only in terms of the lumber it can offer us. We are mistaken if we view the worth of the human soul in terms of the skills that she can bring to the corporation. The power we harvest from the sun’s solar energy will never match the worth of its beauty. And yet, we are constantly confusing monetary value with worth.

Wake up!

Yes, one day every consumer will be consumed.
