Nondeterminative Antiritualistic Reevaluations

The reason that consumerism has remained successful, apart from the obvious answers of gluttony and greed, and concsistent across many culters and time periods, is that we tire of the static. What we crave is a deeper part of ourselves that connects to an understanding greater than our own. We seek a dynamic fluid force that cannot be named, described, or even fully recognized. Think now of the man who treats the people in his relationships not as living, inherently dynamic and beautifully complex creatures, but as objects to be used and manipulated. How lonely he must be. Think now of the man who sees not the world as a fully-interconnected, impossibly complex lifeform, but as a system waiting to be broken down and analyzed. How empty he must be. Ignorance truly is bliss.
