Almost nobody addresses the root cause of consumerism, which is accurately captured in this quote by Eckhart Tolle:
“What keeps the so-called consumer society going is the fact that trying to find yourself through things doesn’t work. The ego satisfaction is short-lived, and so you keep looking for more and keep buying and consuming.”
Until the root cause is understood, we keep fighting with the symptoms.
