It is part of the Babylonic philosophy which tells us to buy, buy, buy, even if the items are what we don’t need. It revolves around how full you can fill the capitalists’ pockets without realizing you are doing it.

How many times do we visit the Supermarket only to come away with more than we intended as there were “specials”.

The flyers we receive in the junk mail tell us we need a new TV even though the old one is just fine.

The toys our children must have because they are the latest fad, and not having one makes you a social outcast.

Mother’s and father’s days are a real boon for Babylon as we are told we can only be descent sons or daughters if we buy mum or dad a $500 armchair or fridge.

It has been said a bargain is only a bargain if it’s something you really need.

Even today the most basic of needs revolve round money, not humanitarianism.

It is often said that more people get sick now than used to be, so smoking, obesity, diet and everything from meat to the type of air freshener used, is blamed for man’s ills.

I have to disagree with a lot of this Babylonian propaganda. People were healthier because they could 'afford' to see a doctor sooner, before the illness got to a point where regardless of expense they have to go. How many of us hold off, hoping the complaint will go away rather than cost us a large chunk of the weekly pay packet only to be told what we already know, that we are unwell and, 'We will do some tests and see you again in a couple of days'. Translated 'please feed my Babylon account, I need a new BMW and there’s a new latest toy the kids just must have.'

Some of us are doing our part, and hopefully without the Babylon colored glasses society provides; you will too.

We have a No Junk Mail sign on the mail box, all those mail flyers go straight past and we don’t agonize over what we can’t afford or have missed, as we haven’t seen it to miss.

We make things stretch a little further, washing soda mixed in with washing powder means we use a quarter of what we normally would and our clothes are just as clean and just as bright.

Think about it, do you really need to use a squirt of dishwashing liquid when a half squirt means it goes further, or did the advert say it had to be a squirt, because a half squirt means you’ll buy far less.

The dream is for a one day global economy where we all have enough and you are judged as a person, not on your income bracket or if you can afford brand name clothing or not. People helping people for the hell of it, not because there is a hidden financial agenda to their advantage hidden away in what they are doing.

These days people don’t have hopes, dreams, feelings, they have an income bracket and bank account. They are not judged on integrity but by how good they are at standing on others to 'get somewhere' - the thing is, where? To be another set of teeth in the insatiable appetite of Babylon? Is that really an achievement to be proud of?

The one thing the capitalists of Babylon haven’t realized; you can’t buy love, if you could they would have already bottled and marketed it, they did it with water when we have rivers full of it, and people still buy it.
