Meditation no 2. How I know its Christmas. Everyone who is anyone, those who think they are someone, right down to lowest Z list celebrity is flogging something. Books, DVD’s from would be writers, comedians, movie stars, TV presenters, mystics, fortune tellers. They are all in on the act and keen to rifle our thin lined pockets. Once again the stressed out, last minuet shopper will buy anything, that can be wrapped up, disguised as a present and which will sit comfortably under Christmas tree.
Companies want to sell us things we don’t need. A new mobile phone, which will make your will, and cook your dinner. Buy a new wall size flat screened TV. To enhance your viewing over the festive season. Buy a laptop; upgrade your computer, more power, bigger hard drive, more capacity, bigger, better, save money.
All in the good cause of giving us the experience of the happiest Christmas ever. Buy, buy, buy, and fill your house with junk, swell our bank balances.
Of course all thoughts and mention of global warming, ozone depletion and climate change are placed on the backburner, as the shops overload with all manner of product manufactured from paper and oil. Books, paper, DVD’s toys, you name, and there’s oil in there somewhere, that ever growing scarce commodity, and set to soar in price. The way things are going we might not be celebrating many more Christmases as we know them, if we continue on this destructive trend. So enjoy this Christmas and as many more as we can hope for. Trawl the shops and stores for that perfect present that you always wanted to give or to receive. Get it now while stocks last.!!
