We live in a highly commercialized environment. The so-called "American Dream" that was forged after WWII is now being chased by several countries that had previously rejected the idea of reaching for the proverbial brass ring. The "Pursuit of Happiness" is now synonymous with the pursuit of wealth. The North American economy has demonstrated that consumerism is not sustainable, nor is it a healthy way to live, environmentally or spiritually.
So, this Sunday's discussion on Stay Peaceful will focus the following areas of consideration:
- What does consumerism tout as the way to live?
- What have been the effects of consumerism to individual peace and happiness?
- What do writings, modern and ancient, have to say about living a consumerist life?
- Since we all must consume to live, how should an individual live as a consumer?
- How do we make good choices in regards to our need to consume?
I hope you can tune in.
Stay Peaceful,
Jason
