We are zombies. We feed the economy.

Why you want to buy a house or get married is mostly because you are instructed subconsciously. Our brains are wired to react (and normally do) to what media, government, religious institutions, schools, employers and even our parents (because they were told thesame) tells us because we're socially inclined species.

The norms of the society is built because we need to feed the economy. We are zombies in this world.

Why you have debts / loans /credit cards is because you are being forced by the economy to buy stuff. It's not necessarily bad as this concept fuels the economy. All countries need their economies. It is bad when we fixate ourselves to owning unproductive things that don't profit (television, jewelry, clothes) or bad relationships (getting divorce) or even creating bad habits (excessive drinking, smoking).

I just want to share this small idea to the world. That we are wired unknowingly by society. Zombies of the economy.
