overconsumption makes us loosing ourselves and our true happiness

Overconsumption has become the norm of our life.
And this is natural, because we live in a very commercialized world and space.
It's hard to imagine. that we can watch something or go somewhere without a hellish dose of advertising.
Why is it scary?


Overconsumption makes us loosing ourselves and our true happiness.

No, not because we spend a lot of money to buy all this, and not because we, sometimes. don't even use what. we bought. It's scary, because someday, only one type of thought can remain in our head - how else can I consume?

We spend a lot of our intellectual energy on decisions about consumption.

Don't get me wrong, it's natural to consume. We consume air, the light of the sun, food..but overconsumption is when we think too much about it, and in the end we can consume not so much physically and mentally.

Also, we often spend more energy on consumption than we get happiness from it.

A person can never be happy in the mode of overconsumption of things, information, emotions, and everyone has their own excess and norm, individually. Because we are all different, that's for sure.

But there is something that unites us - this is the essence of our existence. And it is to dedicate every second of our lives to God. And He loves when we serve each other. But please, please... let's not have images of so called or fake service , because that's not what I mean.

And what I have is to think about "how exactly can each of us engage in devoted service to God?".
Because this topic worth eternity.
