Much like there is a so called "Retail Therapy" I am proposing the exact opposite. Think about going out and buying yourself "things" to make yourself feel better...are you serious?
Here's an idea- Discard the things you own before they start owning you (thanks again Chuck P)
Most of the people whom engage in this idiotic behaviour tend to not even purchase anything that helpful- a Juicer from Sharper Image, a Crepe Pan from Crate+Barrell- perhaps even a basket of gourmet "goodies" from David+whomever...
It would make most people feel better not to have these things. Technology, consumerism and related "isms" are not a-moral and certainly immoral in many cases.
Justify why we need Google Earth.
Justify why we need cloning.
Justify why kids spend more time playing WII Golf than actual Golf.
Justify how all the gadgets you have make your life better...better yet, answer this: if you had to hunt your meat and sow your own crops working all day just to feed yourself and make enough $ to put a roof over your head- do you think you could possibly have ADD or Restless Leg Syndrome? You wouldn't have the time for these made-up symptoms to emerge- or exist!
People would once again enjoy nature and corporate sponsorships for highways would cease to exist.
I don't want this to happen- but entropy calls and when it does- orderliness seldom goes hand in hand with it.
