The Relationship Between Consumption and Self
Here’s a thought of the day courtesy of Rob Walker, from Buying In:
“It’s easy to move from surrounding yourself with what you are to surrounding yourself to what you wish you were…. Problems arise when people use material goals and material experiences not to reflect who they are, but to construct who they are…. Not to reflect a self, but to build a self…. You are only what you surround yourself with? No. You surround yourself only with who you are.”
