I thought about a specific thing at work today, which was that we (adults) are teaching children to become expensive consumers. I am not kidding when I say, we are. To me, this sounds all dandy and so, but it's not good to teach them consumerism, and by what I mean, to elementary school students.
There is everything from brandnames to specific foods, etc. I thought it was kind of crazy to think that everything is individualized for a person, while that may limit what is given, it is personalized to a bit. Catching on yet? Making anti-social socialites because of selfishness. Everyone wants their own thing.
I believe in individualism, but is it going to cost us more just to get things like that? As long as you earn your way into individualism, that is what sets apart how we can function with each other. No need to share, no need to pull and tug at the same thing, no need to be dependent.
In some ways, I enjoy how my job can allow me to think, even when entering this chaotic environment, I'm still able to pull it off with no sweat.
