Stating that 'material goods adds to a child's happiness', genuinely makes me sad, that as a society, this is seen as a norm.

We're becoming more and more like America, where happiness and success is measured by how much you materially own, every year.

If Jesus was around today, I doubt he'd be spouting the same guff.

Suffer the little children.

Just don't make 'em suffer by not going into hock, so they can have the absolute latest piece of must-have technological gizmo.
