Why do you think Japan is less of a consumption based society? Not saying you are wrong, but would like to hear why. I have heard things like they buy new cars every five years and don't like "used" houses and instead opt to tear down and rebuild houses when they buy them, not to mention there fascination with new technology. So I have never thought of Japan as being less consumption based.
- blazespin 9y agoYeah, one of our favorite things was to walk around on gomi day and pick up all the lightly used kitchen appliances thrown out.

- mrhappyunhappy 9y agoI reckon it isn't. All I'm saying is that people or should I say media, are not obsessed with the subject. Perhaps life is more about fulfillment and less about how that makes you feel? Can anyone truly maintain happiness as a state of mind? Is that even possible?
