00:00Most of us, life is just a long exercise in waiting for death.
00:07Oh, death is still, you know, some 20 years away.
00:10Something has to be done to kill time.
00:13What to do to kill time?
00:15Go buy a phone.
00:17Go get a girl.
00:20Some random mischief, go to jail.
00:23There, you know, somebody else will relieve you of deciding time.
00:31If you need a phone, you need a phone.
00:34What's the big deal in it?
00:35The problem is not the phone.
00:37The problem is not knowing who am I and why do I need a new phone?
00:43Consumption in itself is not a problem.
00:46You are entitled to consume, but consumerism is a totally different thing.
00:50It's a philosophy that says that you need not know who you are, what you are doing.
00:55You just keep stuffing your insides with phones, gadgets, this, that, whatever, and then you
01:02will feel happy.
01:03That is the problem.
01:04And when it's about consumerism, then every single relationship becomes a problem.
01:11I have to buy a phone that turns into an internal conflict.
