When people's first reactions come to mind on November 11 is shopping, not singletons
This represents our lives, successfully invaded by consumerism;
When the first proposed to use the pleasure of consumption to sweep away the haze of singleness
Our emotions are also secretly marked with a price tag.
Whenever I encounter a consumer frenzy, I revisit a documentary called "Humanity";
Rather, revisit one of these lines —
I'm not talking about poverty, I'm talking about moderation
But we have developed a society of consumption
This society is constantly seeking growth
We create a lot of unnecessary demand
You have to keep buying things and then discarding them again
This is our profligate life
We didn't pay for the money
What we pay for is the time in life that we have to go and make money
The difference is that we can't buy life, life only passes
Bad, waste your life and lose your freedom
This passage is simple and unpretentious, and who said it is no longer important, but it is deafening and enlightening.
First, it encapsulates the essence of a consumer-oriented society: the constant pursuit of growth, the creation of unnecessary demand;
Selling these less-usable products through advertising;
After the consumer is attracted to buy, as the freshness fades, it is discarded;
Next, it reveals a harsh reality —
Most people's money is bought by peddling time, no matter how much you earn, you are always selling your time;
Time, on the other hand, is the basic element that constitutes life;
Therefore, the essence of buying, buying, buying, and buying is the sale of life.
This is reminiscent of the words of the British writer Oscar Wilde:
Everyone was born a king, but most died in exile.
Think of the Ash-eating Kindle, the clothes that are only worn once, the configurations on the car that have no eggs, these products and services that are cool for a while, and then can't be used, are all a failure of life.
Unfortunately, this formula is difficult to establish back in the back;
Saving money does not mean the storage or continuation of life.
Powerful as the car king Schumacher, after five years of sleep, he woke up and created a miracle;
But with the leg hair, I also know that this miracle is accumulated with hundreds of millions of snowflake silver.
Rich people can create miracles, ordinary people can never wake up, grave grass is three meters high, although money can break through the rules of biological science, but the problem is that ordinary people have no money.
Having money to live and money to die is cruel, but very objective.
Consumerism gives life a new meaning .
Strive to produce the best goods, and then exchange the rewards earned from selling your productivity for better goods.
In these exchanges, people, as the ideology of the individual, did not have the slightest sense of participation;
Consumerism, on the other hand, throws a searchlight at most confused people.
An Argentine short animation "Employed Life" tells a simple story.
The camera begins with the day of the protagonist.
With a bald man as the main line;
At first, I got up and looked sleepy—
Wash and dress, someone held up the mirror for him, he didn't think so—
When eating early, the legs of the table and chair bench are also supported by people-
At this time, the audience will find that all the tools we use in life are replaced by real people.
Illuminate the darkness of the table lamp ——
Hanger when you go out——
Key hanging hole ——
Alternating traffic lights—
Taxi to work ——
This brain-opening plot, the little friends absolutely hold their urine to finish watching.
Who is this god with this male protagonist? The whole world is around him! The question of continuing to advance the plot, what I never expected was that -
When we followed the bald man to his company, we found that he was also a tool: a foot pad!
In the end, he is also an employed person.
Interpreting this short film from the perspective of consumerism, the moral is obvious:
In a mechanized society with a high division of labor, the individual is as small as a tool, and everyone sells his life;
Individuals have no expression in the large environment and no independent consciousness.
Optimistic people will smile, tear off labels and hats, and the essence of people in different positions is no different.
99% of people cannot defeat consumerism, and of course, there is no need to overcome it.
As long as people have a sense of comparison, consumerism will never become obsolete;
Money is the guts of man;
When you have been beaten by society, you will naturally start to save money.
A few years after graduation, look back at every step you have taken, each time a little better than your previous life;
From mastering their own core competitiveness, to gradually enriching and strengthening materials, and even having real estate.
Every time you finish consuming, life becomes a little better, and there will be new hope.
So we chased after this piece of hope.
Isn't the reason why people live is for such a small thing?
At the end of the day, it's not people who are strong, it's money that's strong.
At the same time, it must also be made clear that you have not defeated consumerism, but that poverty has not overcome you.
