I find that I only shop in certain places when I'm already depressed! They don't even sound mildly interesting if I'm not already feeling rotten.<br><br>The other thing I think it does is stop a person from calling hoarding by the wrong name of "frugality" and substitutes the creating of a beautiful life with the filling of an empty one - with junky stuff that make you feel like you "deserve" or can find virtue in ugliness.<br><br>Do we think money buys style? Labels mark the items that will stamp the owner with social status? Or that a "good deal" means purchasing an item is virtuous somehow?<br><br>Whatever it is, shopping sensually solves the problem.
