I wonder if Imelda Marcos was happy with all those shoes she had!

I doubt that. perhaps it was a sort of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Question Re: X men - 5 Dollar Ft. long Subs-cryptionite

Do you mind if I include my analysis of the words used in those songs from Rocky Horror? I've read all the songs, and they are pretty interesting. I think the whole movie is having a bit of fun at our ignorance, as do many movies.

Hi Unified Serenity, of course!
All views and analysis helps expand all of our minds

If you want to expand our minds, we are all listening ... or reading in this case!


Peace

I think materialism is an addiction. One acquires "things" to make himself happy, but the "happiness effect" is only short lived, and he eventually feels worse afterward. Buying more "stuff" gives him another fix, etc.

I am antique dealer so I frequently see the "collector mentality" firsthand. I know people whose houses are so stuffed with collectibles that they literally cannot move around inside. Deep down inside they are miserable about their lifestyle yet they keep going out to buy more.

I guess this fits in with 777's ideas about desire.

you're right. It's compensating for real values lacking in their lives.
