Consumption
I picked up the phone this morning and started scrolling Amazon for shit to buy. I’m not going to tell you what I was looking at, that’s not the point. The point is that 20 minutes into my black hole of consumption I realized I didn’t need what I was looking for. Marcus Aurelius, the great Roman Emperor knew what I am only beginning to realize, we all live with too much stuff. When referring to our tendency to over consume, Marcus said that over consumption “leaves their owner with no place to shit.”
I could not have said it better. That is so true. So true in fact that I’ve realized I don’t even have room to shit in my off-site storage unit.
The thoughts here are mine and mine alone.
I hope you find them useful, or perhaps even enjoy them.
