Consumerism

We were shopping for my son’s school supplies this weekend and I had the urge to buy something for myself.
We were at the bookstore, and I’m an artsy guy, I could get something to create. But I didn’t need anything. And yet, there was this feeling that I should, buy something, anything.
It struck me as odd. I’m content, and yet this strong, feeling to buy something I don’t need.
