Consumism is not happiness

When you buy things (in the case of being useless or a waste of money to buy it), you usually feel happiness and joy because you got what you wanted. A month later, you do not feel this happiness for this product any more, so you decide to buy another thing you wanted to get. This process repeats and repeats every month. Why? Because it what we call consumism.
Lots of people think that for reaching happiness they have to buy it. They think that happiness is in their clothes, their perfumes, their furniture, their new houses, their new cars... They think that happiness is equal to money.
Money or consumism does not give you the happiness you think you are going to get. Some studies say that the excess of consumism can cause depress, alcoholism, crime, anxiety, obesity and suicide. But in my opinion this is all caused by the lack of happiness produced by the idea we have from consumism: With more money I can buy more things, and with more things I am happier.
You can find happiness in family, in friends, by helping others, by having a walk, by going to the beach, laughing about your mistakes, reading a book... Al these things are the ones that can make you happy or not, but the idea you have to get is that happiness is out there, inside you and inside other people and not in things you buy because they are attractive or because everyone has one.
And there is an important thing you must remember:
These days you can find a simple product almost everywhere and someday you will have to throw it .
These days is difficult to find happiness so if you have it do not throw it NEVER.
