Yeah, I have championed people to discern the differences between what they Want compared to what they NEED! It makes me sad how these two things get conflated to the degree of folks tending to be toxic to themselves, oftentimes, without even realizing it.

I think that the self-gratification factor kicks in and with an I, Me, Mine culture... not too many consider much beyond how it immediately affects them in the now. What is the excuse for not considering further into the decisions being made. It would seem that not many care or are not aware of how to care more. Critical Thinking has been exchanged for Thinking Critically! Most people know why they complain but don't understand the layers of complexity in what all there is to be grateful for. This ingratitude combined with the trophy culture is a perfect storm of ushering in the idiocracy we see enveloping the entire world. This has permeated all levels of income and sometimes the money can be a security blanket to keep one comfortable in their ignorance towards gratitude.

Of course, I am generalizing with perhaps too wide of a stroke but there seems to be an organized strategy helping exacerbate this issue. The Nake Communist seems to be coming to pass.
