People getting pepper sprayed, hit with a tazer gun, beaten until bloodied.....no that's not the riots in other countries or a day in the war zone that's what we now call "black Friday". The beginning of the shopping season for the holidays.
The holiday season is the most stressful time of the year...crazy huh?
At a time that we should be happy and celebrating we put so much emphasis on "stuff" that we stress ourselves out.
What to buy for who?
We need to express how much we love the people in our life's with "stuff".
So we work and work and save, or throw it on the plastic and worry about it later.
We do it to ourselves.
We forget what the heck it is all about....family, time with each other, being able to reflect and count your blessings.
The Buddhist believe that the more possessions you have the more your possessions possess you.
Ahh the holiday season....hurry up and get out there and spend spend spend....
