People are brainwashed by products every day of their lives from the moment they were born until they die. Products won't make you or your life better than before. They're just products. Most things become old and useless in short time after you purchase them. Why would you waste your life pouring all your money and energy into things that die off shortly? If you really desire to have a purpose in life or be successful in anything, you must know that buying things isn't the way. Let's say, you are buying a new car. How long does it take for that car to go old and start having issues? Maybe 2-3 years. You have to pay 5-6 years to own that car that will break down after 2-3 years. You must spend more money to get it fixed while you're still paying for the car payments, insurance and all that. Why don't you get a bike instead? Nobody cares what you ride anyway. Get a bike and ride it everywhere, to work, to get groceries, to the beach, mall etc. This is the way to freedom. You can downsize all you have or not buy anything at all. Even if the bike breaks down, you can get it fixed or get a new one easily. Just start walking instead. You wouldn't die walking.
The thing I'm getting into that the stuff aren't actually making our lives better. We're brainwashed by advertisements, all the products we see all around us. We feel like they make our lives better, give us things, make us smarter, happier. That's actually not true. Buying is the worst habit you have. Life isn't about shopping or buying at all. Life is all, it's meant to be more. Only get the stuff you really need like groceries or order some fries. The more you buy, the more you'll be addicted to the short term satisfaction it gives you. Nothing else. There is research that's not been shown to the society about how sad and unhappy shoppers are. Stop for a second and find something else to do. Products will only take away from you, they never uplift you. Live in the moment. Don't think about what you need to get next in every thought you have. Things to do are better than a shopping list. What if you never buy anything ever again? Would you die? No you wouldn't. Well you need some food and water for sure. You could still survive and have a fulfilling life even be very successful without buying nothing. There are so many people in the world live like monks in the mountains that never had a chance to buy things like new clothes, a car, a bag, more shoes, newer sandals. They washed their clothes over and over again until it was torn apart in their hands but they were still happy. They made their own shoes. They found a broken bike, fixed it and rode it everywhere. These are the happiest people in the world that had the most satisfaction by having the little things and experiences. If you save your money without buying nothing, you will have enough to build something extraordinary one day. Save for your dreams. Those companies that manufacture those products will always make money but you will be the one that loses. Imagine what you want to have in 10 years and keep that image in your head until you have it. Nothing else matters.
