Do you ever wonder…
In creating conveniences and
Products and services and
Industries and technologies to cater
To all our imaginable needs and wants,
Have we simultaneously created a culture of inadequacy
And an eternally doomed-to-fall-short-of-success work life
Along with a looming feeling of failing in your personal life
Always under pressure for never being ‘enough’?
Our consumption is not natural
Because our needs and wants
Are manufactured before they are catered to
Our consumption supports our collective human need
To create and build things that compete to surpass and exceed
Prior creations that we now deem ‘not good enough.’
We stand informed by our culture that our creativity is
rooted in dissatisfaction; in believing that we need to be better
That we somehow are ‘never enough’.
