This is one of the seasons where it seems a lot of money is either being spent, or credit is being used. We all know that when we use credit, the debt is one more thing added to the financial stress we carry most of the year. Many do it anyway. It is very hard to resist all the marketing and highly paid for advertisements that bombard us from all directions. If you live in an urban area, and visit any shopping center or mall, you are blinded by colourful lights and beckoning elves and snowmen. I must get a zillion sale notices starting in November about just what I need added to my already cluttered life if I am to enjoy a good “Christmas”
The truth is, we don’t need anything from a retail store to make us happy. Happiness is a state of mind. Happiness that is acquired through a purchase soon losses its luster and appeal. That electronic must have soon is replaced by something fancier and more sophisticated. The dress or outfit once worn a few times is no longer to be seen in.
The Value of Money and Things Depends on How you Choose to Use Them. (PL teaching) Money and things are materials for your self-expression. Use them to their fullest for the sake of others and society. (Church of Perfect Liberty)
World Peace starts from Peace at Home and in Our Hearts. Inner Peace is the greatest gift of all.
Have a wonderful day everyone, be happy.
Blessings, Oyashikiri
