A few weeks before the end of November and the beginning of December, like every week, I'm going to stock up on groceries (since I work on my own like any immigrant in a country that is not their own) and on my way to the city center in Lima, Peru, I walked through the avenues crowded with people, Christmas decorations, offers and a whole lot more. As I passed through those places I saw how people rushed to buy without measure, spending without any kind of conscience, which led me to ask myself: To what point have large industries and commerce led us to become beings without conscience? How much damage have we done to the planet with endless consumerism? And you, friend of SN, have you ever been aware of the atrocious consumerism that exists? Tell me, it will be a pleasure to read other experiences.
