It is simple, our society is too materialistic, we think that ipods ipad iphones will make us happy and we deride the pvoerty of those who live in countries like nepal and india, ironically even though they live in filth they have a happy mind. The sad thing is China is following in our footsteps, the belief that impermanent things that distract the mind can lead to permanent happiness. how foolish!
I know plenty of salt of the earth older folks who have lived responsibly and frugally despite the brainwashing by corporate America and US gov't. Put the blame where it belongs. Those who fall prey to the propaganda will be the ones haunted in these times.
