Simplified Meaning:
People often think that buying more things will make them happy. This idea comes from consumerism, which is the belief that getting new stuff can solve our problems or make us feel good. For example, when someone is feeling sad, they might buy a new phone or a fancy pair of shoes to cheer themselves up. While buying things can give a short burst of happiness, this feeling doesn't last long. Instead of seeking happiness through shopping, it’s better to focus on things like spending time with loved ones or learning a new hobby. These activities bring longer-lasting joy and satisfaction.
