You're right, we consume in many forms and not just material. I'm happy that there are other ways of consuming and not only the material way, but still.. I don't want our happiness to be so depending on consuming.
If we find ourselves in a situation, when we have no goal to strive for, can we find anything to work with if we have no goals?
For me, I do not see an end to work. The world is in such a mess that there is always something to work on, something to attempt.
