Why do we love lies so much, that we lie to ourselves and call it intelligence?
Is it to feed our inorganic lives?
On one hand we equate price with quality.
We say, “you get what you pay for.” “I'd rather spend more now upfront than pay for it later or have to keep replacing this item after it tears up, breaks down, stops functioning.”
We justify paying higher prices for things that give us status, self-esteem and makes us feel good, so we can show the world we are somebody.
We will take extra effort to research, go and find and purchase the expensive things we want. Rarely do we need it.
Yet and still, on the other hand, we make the primary claim and excuse against buying organic, eating organic and growing organic food, that it costs too much and too expensive and takes too much time.
Therefore then, it's not about the food at all or about the price of the food.
It's about us loving expensive things we can show off and talk about.
Because how much self-esteem is there from bragging about eating organic food?
