Affluenza virus

Excellent article on Yahoo today…

“Beware the Affluenza Virus. An epidemic of mindless consumerism is sweeping the world with the compulsive pursuit of money and possessions making people richer but sadder….”

"We have become addicted to having rather than being and confusing our needs with our wants," said Oliver James, author of a new book coming out titled, “Affluenza.”

Hmmm...

I love that Mary Baker Eddy says about Jesus, "With the affluence of Truth, he vanquished error." This is the epidemic of "Affluenza" I want to be spreading at an epidemic pace...

Thanks Evan for the reminder that no matter what is being presented as evil we can reclaim for good since God is the only cause and creator...we can redeem a God-based sense of anything, any concept...and live abundantly...abundant honesty, rampant kindness, fast spreading joy, headlong peace...out of (our) control goodness and grace racing into our hearts for sharing!

love to you and Kathy and the baby birds...have a great weekend...Kate
