Consumers are destined to chase the latest and greatest as they will define themselves by what they possess. This leads inevitably to imbalance as competition on such material gains will continually ramp up until there are the haves and the have nots. The haves will look down and say work harder and you can have what I have too and the have nots will look up and say I want that. It is a continual process of FOMO as, there is always someone above with a little bit more.
Yes! So true and so stupid at the same time. If people would recognize this cycle without end, they could just get out. But most people do not recognize him.
