I have to admit to hate-reading the coverage of the Bezos wedding. When I saw Sanchez in that ridiculously cinched-waist dress, all I could think was, what fun is that? Do they even get to enjoy the wedding? To me, the answer is no. How could you, wearing something like that. But I guess that's not the point. The point is the display.
Anyway, every word in this is brilliant, Deidre. Spot on.
A really thought-provoking post Deidre. I contemplate what "enough" means for myself quite a bit. I've realized that I don't need nearly what I thought I needed when I was younger. At this point in my life, I'm mostly trying to get rid of all the stuff I accumulated (that I was sure I needed). It's a huge relief in a lot of ways though the disposal part stresses me out.
I don't get the excess. I just don't. The Bezos wedding budget is probably bigger than the GDP for some countries. I could think of so many ways that money could be spent in ways that have more meaning and do more good. It's such a "human nature thing": this need for more and more and I'm not going to presume to have solutions. Only to say I don't see how this is sane or sustainable for our planet in the long-run.
