Can someone exit from this cycle at any point? Please comment.
Yes we can when we develop higher goals of life and also identify that we brought nothing nor will we take anything .
Materialism is often an outward manifestation of deeper unmet psychological needs and insecurities.
Materialism is a slippery and desperate path that leads to apathy, hopelessness, anxiety, and depression, ushering in negative impacts on well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Materialism can be reduced by enhancing self-esteem ie.experiential consumption, prosocial giving, and healthy social development in children.
One needs to go to the root of material desires,declutter living space,practice gratitude,identify triggers,identify what sparks ones joy,prioritise experience over material items, stop the cycle of buying,tossing and replacing items; instead do right as per ur wallet and the need.
