Consumerism is the personification of greed and people don't realize that one can die for greed just as one can die for nationalism. It drives a person to work too hard, to desire money and to consume. One is conditioned to think that without consumer goods one is nobody. ''I buy therefore I am' is the slogan of the modern age. We must underside and consumerism as a new demonic religion and find a spiritual alternative.
- The Dalai Lama
