Consumism consumes the world.

In this video, José Mujica, Uruguay's ex-presidente, makes an allegation against consumism.
Mujica reminds us that when we buy something, we dont spend money: WE SPEND TIME.
Money is time. Getting money wastes time.
When we spend money in superfluous needs created by capitalism/consumism we are ecxhanging usless material goods for the only thing irrecoverable: LIFE.

Mujica has said some famous quotes such us:

"As much rich we are, as much selfish we become"

"Instead of being rich in cars, let's be rich in leisure. We will all die at last anyways..."

Don't go without listening and paying attention to the shocking words of the uruguayan politic. It truly makes you think.
