Comfortable Quote by Gabriella Bennett
““Meanwhile, the must-haves we're encouraged to lust over bombard us from every direction. Jewellery. Clothes. Technology. Cars. In pursuit of them, the reasons for which we are enticed to buy slip from view. To make life happier, to have more downtime and fewer complications. Folk practising the coorie commandments are working to cast aside fast consumerism and usher in meaningful products. One school of thought argues that handing the population the information they need to make decisions on how to live a more mindful existence is half the battle won.””
