The past week or so I have concentrated quite a bit of space on SeanDareOnline.com to our new acquisitions, the new Wii and our new tent. I want to take a moment to discuss happiness and how those recent purchases figure into the bigger picture. Objects don't make you happy. Yes I am excited to have these new toys, the Wii in particular is a lot of fun, but it doesn't bring happiness. In a few years the Wii will be replaced by a better game system and the people reading my posts about the Wii will wonder what all the excitement was about. Chasing after the newest gadget is a quick route to frustration and depression. You will never catch the carrot that the marketing people dangle in front of you.
