What is Our Limit???

"The Problem with us is not only prodigal extravagance but also an assumed limitlessness," says Wendell Berry in his article Faustian Economics. When you buy something, you feel good about yourself, and as you grow up, you here that happiness and love are limitless. From a completely neuro-science point of view, happiness and love are simply neural stimulation in the brain that causes the release of morphine in our brain to create a 'good feeling.' Therefore, our consumption is a drug, a replacement for real social encounters, releasing morphine into our brain and my point is that we feel like we can buy everything. Or moreso, we feel like we can buy just "one more thing," each time. We over-consume because a new thing makes us feel good and that feeling makes us want it more and our purchasing becomes limitless. If we continue these habit however, the movie, claims that we will begin to trully realize our waste and loss of resources by the year 2070. have we gone too far. are we there yet?
