I Shop, Therefore I Am
Illustration★★★★ADVERTISERS are well aware of our propensity toward
covetousness, and spend an inordinate amount of time
attempting to make us dissatisfied. They know if we become
discontent enough, the frustration of our covetousness will
make us spend and spend. Due to our chronic covetousness,
many of us have adopted the motto, “I shop, therefore I
am.”
The point
Advertisers deliberately exploit our natural covetousness to create dissatisfaction and compel consumption.
