It is fairly overt that vendors will use whatever is in their power to psychologically convince Eve that she needs the Apple. This is the everyday reality of a competitive capitalist landscape. And it is psychologically taxing to resist it.

The positive effects are that there is always some hidden desire in each individual that can be harnessed to motivate him or her to work. And the results of that work is the material productivity of the capitalist system. This web of desire and pleasure keeps everyone from the top of the ladder to its bottom to continue to work and then claim the rewards of their work. It is a fairer system than many and maybe the best we have got.

On the other hand, the media is continuously showering the objects of desire at everyone including immature or vulnerable people and children. The overstimulation of desire and pleasure in every consumer's psyche, in my opinion, may deaden their souls and their relationships with others. Anyone feels the same?

> I would say that this is a choice people freely make because it is expedient ... not because capitalism forces them.. more like Eve and the apple..>
