Oh, dear. Now I shall yearn for an iPad, which is terribly inconvenient, as I am a rabbit and thus, have very little in the way of disposable income.
I haven’t the slightest idea why she bothered, but my girl-person has just uploaded a video of me to YouTube.
To buy or not to buy, that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to purchase
A shiny toy, for an outrageous fortune,
Or to resist overwhelming temptation
And, by resisting, feel superior.
To suffer one’s own sickening envy
Of the indulgent, the early adopters
Who’ll flash their toys and taunt with their consumption,
Devoutly to be wished. To buy, to have
To buy, perchance to use. Ay, there’s the rub,
For in that shiny toy what apps may come?
The moment one forms an idea of a thing and successfully catches one of its aspects, one invariably succumbs to the illusion of having caught the whole.
C. G. Jung
