Post your frustrations here!
ARRGH! I hate it, the consumerist culture is getting worse here!
Everywhere it's just shops, malls, and an endless sea of
mass-produced goods. You bring in something, it gets sold at the
next damn store and three stores down after that, and very soon
every goddamned district in the city carries the same thing! Bags,
shoes, clothes, the same style the same designs. I used to like
those pearly, shiny, pseudo-leather handbags they're selling now,
but there's so much of them, I'm actually sick of the look and
texture, and the SMELL, especially when the material is the cheap
sort.
We're all just wallowing in our self-made hole of endless material
consumption.
Do you know what they're teaching in schools now?
Entrepreneurship!
Madness, isn't it? What happened to the days of natural learning,
of learning as you go along? Teaching young ones to start a
business? What is this? When they should be enjoying their youth
and learning about the world at large, not thinking about making
money! Sure it's good to be wise about finances, but I can see
where this road will lead....an even more consumerist
economy...someday Singapore is going to burn if we don't start
thinking of other attractions apart from this.
I'm just having a bad day. *sigh*
