Consumption

Consumption is by its nature a most intimate and individualistic process. 

The only satisfaction or “good” that accrue to anyone is both personal and highly individualistic.  Strictly speaking, it makes little real difference to me if you have food.  The only food that will do me any good is what I have and can consume for myself.

Likewise, it makes little real difference to me that you have a home to live in, clothing, an automobile, or other comforts or conveniences.  The only comforts or convenience that makes sense to me are those comforts and conveniences over which I exercise control for my own use.

Each human being begins the processes of consumption from the moment of conception, and will continue to consume until he or she dies.

This is the nature of man and the nature of all life.  Consumption cannot be avoided.  It has to be accommodated.
