No, it is not the way I want to live it is the way that many are currently living. It's terrible.

How would you, personally, go about making it easier for those who have succumbed to that way of living to understand how they are able to buy the things that they buy?

How would you make it easier for people to acknowledge the work that goes into making these commodities?

I'm sure many already know how their luxuries are being produced. Do you feel that those that are working for close to nothing will appreciate being thanked for enduring those inhumane working conditions? That is like praying for something to happen rather than taking action. I'd feel undermined if I were being thanked for being a slave rather than being fought for to be taken out of those conditions.
