"Because when I shop, the world gets better. The world is better! And then it is not anymore... And I need to do it again.

"From desire to fulfillment to new desire, if this non-stop process goes back and forth. Fast is happiness, slow is pain; and being in a standstill becomes the emptiness that makes life rigid, an objectless, vague and powerless delusion, a deadly anguish—the world is my will, Schopenhauer "
We are trapped in this false and empty desire and cannot extricate ourselves, and we gradually lose control of ourselves. In fact, all we want is something that is empty in our hearts: to make ourselves look better, to make ourselves feel more respected, to feel important, to make ourselves feel more confident...
