I agree with you! Buying or changing things just for the sake of feeling fashionable or standing out is an attitude that shows a lot of inner emptiness. It is, as you say, about enjoying or giving more quality to your life. We live in a consumerist society that accumulates lots of things that will never be used, which basically reflects certain deficiencies and loneliness. As you have said, sometimes the most expensive is not the best for someone, who may feel "comfortable" with less ostentatious and simple things. I've seen happy people with bare feet and bitter people with custom-made leather shoes. Nice September, @rok-sivante ;)
