The Solution to All Things
THE IDEOLOGY OF romance is a narrative constructed around a quest: 'love' is the solution to all things; 'love' makes us complete; 'love' makes us full; 'love' makes us whole...
Like the search for 'love', consumption implies an incompleteness; something missing.
The ideology of consumerism – the promise that it makes is that (like 'love') consumption is the answer to all our problems: makes us whole, full, complete again.

I have consumed copiously. All pigged out, all shopped out.

welcome back!
'love' is the solution to all things; like to believe that this is true to my heart.
'good fortune' is the solution to all things that would more dynamic and make more sense.
But everyone of us need love to feel we are complete.When we feel love we are in heaven and more.........
OOT :
Err, after weeks of trying to figure out the trackback thingy, I really cant do it. I mean I dun get it still. :P Perhaps its because I dun use it gua. Sorry. :)
calentropus,
In a perfect world, there would no lack of either resources to feed our constant needs. But imperfect the world we live in:
Blessed indeed are the few who have enough of both and know it. Fulfilled, they are man made fully alive.
Less fortunate those, ever seeking to compensate the lack of one, are driven to overindulge, such that "surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, so die". All at once, full, yet hungry.
Discontented those, who, never satisfied with their share of either, forever searching to fill an imaginary emptiness.
Misery, those for whom the quietening of their stomachs is a constant struggle, the quest to fill their starving hearts an impossible dream. Theirs is a mere existence.

Thank you. Yes, indeed, if the gods of fortune are smiling on us, we would not be in wnat, we would be dynamic, vibrant, fully alive!
jason,
Oh, thank you so much. It was so sweet of you to have tried. :)
calentropus,
strange? my words?
hmmm... but thanks indeed, for the healthy perspective.
percolator, you wanna use trackback? i don't think blogger provide one, so you have to use it from haloscan. it's easy to install. go to the haloscan website and look around. if you can't get it, then let me know.
