Over-consumption is the order of the day.
Man is expected to consume more and more.
In fact, a society is often assessed on the basis of its per capita income; the higher its population and consumption, the more developed it is generally regarded.
Some societies produce so much food that the produce would have to be burnt to prop up agricultural prices, while in some other societies people die out of starvation.
The rich who controls the access and consumption of resources use them up very quickly instead of sharing their usage with their less fortunate fellow beings or spreading out the non-replenishable resources such as metals and certain sources of energy are ruthlessly depleted to cater to the material comforts and over-consumption of man.
At the same time, industrial waste hazards and pollution are endangering life and human survival.
The over-emphasis on the materialistic aspect of life also created social problems of crime, suicides, mental illness, drug addiction, and other social tension and dislocation.

They r Stupid to smoke. Esp whèn they start àt an age old enough to think.. IDIOTS who pick up a dirty habit. Idiots make e Wise choice to harm themselves.
Very hard to quit! Yes, pity those who start young... Idiots.. I guess i dò not 've to elaborate on e damaging impacts on e health..
Gangster wannabe?? Mayb.
Social smokers? Weak.
It's great that night life in singapore has become cleaner in terms o air quality. I still rem e times i went home after club w the smell that stinks for hours.
i admire those who quit smoking after being a smoker for yrs.
i look down on those who pick up smoking from nowhere. Mayb they 've their thousand n one reasons, but i really dun understand.
Sorry to those around me who smoke, i've no intention to offend.
As an onlooker, i've seen 2 extreme cases. pple either become v thin or grow fat after start smoking. Good for u if u can still maintain a perfect figure.. But who knows wat isit like inside ur burning organs.
Under peer pressure to smoke, that's e lousy-est excuse i've comé to know, ha. To b honest, it had comé across my mind to try smoking yrs back, but a fren o mine say it's gonna make me look v ugly. I agree. Wat a stupid tot.
Dò u smoke? Stop smoking.
stressed? Then i wonder y there r non-smokers around. It's typical for someone living in this society to feel stressed.
Men who think that they look cool as a smoker? The attitude that u show, holding e cigarette, standing by e dust bin puffing next to e pillar outside ur office building, isn't gonna attract anyone but perhaps, e ugly female smokers too. Yes. The look on smokers S U C Ks...
I know high flyers who r heavy smokers. They earn a lot n 've e money to spend on cigarettes. They probably didnt foresee that more money will b spent in e next half o their life paying for medical bills. Cancer. Congrats.
Pls, dun smoke anymore. Think for urself n ur family.
