society of sin

If to consume is to destroy, then to say that every society in the world is in fact a consumer society actually means that they all are intern destructive societies. What is a paradox is that economic growth, the successful flourishing of a country, is dependant upon the consumers, or in other terms destructionists. We have turned into a corrupt society influenced in largely by aesthetics, not ethics. It is interesting that it takes a superficial- individualistic-dreamer to keep the monster of economics living and breathing. Does this mean our government relies on us, its people, to become in terms, a nation of self centered, destructive, superficial, and unethical people? Is this what we all need to become to keep out country running? Those who can not contribute to the negative to enhance the economy, the poor, are considered ‘blemishes’ and ‘inadequate’ to the consumer race. Why do we punish those who can not contribute to the ‘evil’ that is the consumer society? Does this then in some extreme way mean that building malls is a type of ‘sin’ as doing so purposely encourages the degeneration of society? There has to be a way to get back on the path of our predecessors and return to the producer society we once were instead of not changing the negative society that we have become.
