Consumerism Quote

There are two ways to get enough: one is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

-G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)


This quote goes into the deep desires people feel for material posessions. The only two options are for you to be happy with what you have or to always desire more. This quote connects to the text Shopaholic Ties the Knot. In this book Becky always wants more. She suffers from a shopping addiction and can't seem to say no to buying. The obvious choice is to desire less. This will allow you to be happier and actually obtain and accomplish the things you want.
