We live in a culture where the "dis-ease of wanting" is highly contagious, especially during the holiday season. In fact, we are seduced daily by the shiny objects and services popping up on the computer and television. Advertisers are constantly trying their very best to convince us that we "need" these things, and when we bite that hook we hand over our power and agency to be happy and fulfilled. This is because the dis-ease of wanting leads us to the hamster wheel of striving, where we never quite reach a finish-line. There is no closure as we are always pursuing the next best thing. We keep striving for something, and then the next something, until we exhaust ourselves and either jump off or die striving.
