On today's post I thought I'd share a video that symbolizes our society's misconception of happiness. I will admit this video is bleak but I feel like nonetheless it sends a message of what happiness is by showing us what happiness certainly is not.
This is a really well done short film! It shows how consumerism pretends to be the be-all-end-all of needs and wants but ultimately can only get us so far. I have been thinking about trying to find happiness internally rather than sourcing it from products or substances but it's challenging to do. Thanks for sharing.
