Once all was very simple, simple pleasures and simple complications.There were simple kitchens with few utensils;there we cooked three simple meals a day.We worked hard to earn those meals.We fought gallantly against diseases and poverty; it was simple, but not happy time.
We brought prosperity to us;our needs were not meagre anymore.Our newly renovated kitchens got hundreds of utensils,though no warm meal at all.We decided to buy every single invention to make our life comfortable or complicated.There is a national debate in Sweden about the prices of luxury items.It appeared an article in “Namn och nytt"about one lady handbag in seventy thousand-price class.Few days latter the daily Dagens Nyheter wrote an editorial about the bag with a half page red bag illustration.
Of course I was taken aback to hear the price of the bag,but I am not bothered and it is not alarming.What terrify me most are the toys,which we buy for our twenty years old kids.We give them million dollars magnificent killing machines and sophisticated war aeroplanes.We spend unimaginable amounts to buy all those toys and voluntarily put their and other’s lives in danger.People - buy the bags with clear conscious in the price of 70 thousand SK,buy accessories,jewellery and perfumes.Buy cosmetics and “all the men’s essentials”,spoil yourselves and spoil yours nearest with luxurious items,create a purchase festival every day of your life,buy a life of ease and luxury and shout loudly:No more war toys for the kids.
