Hello all: How are you? I think you're right about it. Nietzsche said
something about it, he linked luxury needs and the excess of materialism's
needs with physiological decadence, in other words when you dedgenerate
physically or in simple words (when you turn ugly and sick) those things
will have as a *consequence* a greater need of stimulants and gratification
(from luxuries and vices)
this is an interesting topic

Another good quote from wordsmith.org
"Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears." -Marcus
Aurelius, philosopher and writer (121-180)
I suspect that a person's sense of entitlement (or injury) will be different
in a communist society than in a capitalist society. Perhaps less
posessiveness of both objects and other humans. Perhaps less concern with
status.
Comments?
