Utopia

[tekkichan2]

This wicked idea planted in our mind that we can buy our own happiness, our way to a better place is just illusion. That purchases make us happy, buying things gives us freedom of choice and control in ways that the socialist utopias could never match

So true! Of course, we need things. But even more, we need to be able to strengthen our families, communities, and friendships. To do that, we need time and energy. But even our so called leisure time is time we are told must be productive. We should exercise, or review and revise. We should buy a thing that we are told we must buy, even if we have no real desire to have it.

Indeed, Leisure today is just a mere interlude in the productive process, time to recharge before the next work. It is indistinguishable from work, sometimes to achieve our goal we often doing more works in our leasure time. Well, perhaps the geuine leisure time is only for privilege. We peasants must work, work and work :)
