46. The materialist/consumerist society
I had a friend who thought she hit the top - a house with a swimming pool. Then she got divorced and had to give up the house. She didn't suicide or fall into depression, but was down over it. In the culture of possessions, people lose site of what really matters.

So now there are multitudes who grabbed for the materialist dream house with the reckoning now knocking on the door.

Thank goodness the junta is saving the financial CEO's. :sarcasm:
