[GMW #2892] Nurture Simplicity & Modesty - Don't Admire, ShowOffism & Overconsumerism


[GMW #2892] Nurture Simplicity & Modesty - Don't Admire, ShowOffism & Overconsumerism Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3287 ~
Ordinary citizens should make an effort not to admire the showoffism of which there is so much around us.  For example, do not look at beautiful modern cars or limousines with which the owners want to show off when driving around.  Do not look at and admire the very elaborate and shiny motorcycles on which young people sit and speed to be a show off and be admired.  Do not admire big villas and mansions the owners of which want to show off and be admired.  Turn your eyes away from all this and perhaps when they see that nobody admires them they will also become more sensitive to the need for simplicity and modesty on this planet.  Yes, there should be a world wave against overconsumerism and showoffism, two of the major exports of the United States and the multinational corporations.

Above all, be a good human being, a loving, concerned member of the human family, a loving instrument of life and of a better world.
