audiophile jokes

In an ironic sense, yes. And worse, we don’t even use a lot of what we have. We quickly move onto the next ‘want’, usually an upgrade/variety. And that’s not limited to audio gear alone.

I remember by maternal grandfather’s immaculate home. There was not one object there that wasn’t used regularly. The same Philips radio played the same musical programs every day as did the same TV set the evening news. The same toaster toasted bread all those years and the same refrigerator lasted him for decades. Even in the case of consumables, there was never an extra purchase, exact quantities bought just in time to prevent a stock out.

I think he enjoyed his meagre possessions a lot more than I do mine. He took excellent care of them too. I should try ‘feeling grateful’.

Its actually quite deep
- in away a funny look at ourselves on how we are never happy :)
- But in some ways quite sad as getting what one had has not made one happy
- again, in another way exciting as we keep changing our goalpost and hence keep improving
-but again its a treatise in capitalism as very often its driven by stakeholders need tor Quarter in Quarter increase in sales and hence increasing demand
-then again it increases medical costs as people are more depressed
-but then again it makes pharma companies a good investment. option and hence increase wealth in investors
-and again that only makes the rich -poor divide more contrasting...

and in still another way intellectual as i had to think of all of those :D

I think this tendency is hardwired in humans. That is what enabled us to move out of the African Savannah to all over the world; invent agriculture and form societies - not to speak of all the modern inventions (both the good and the bad).

The succinct bilingual phrase sums it up: “yeh dil maange more”
