When I shop, the world gets better, and the world is better, but then it's not, and I need to do it again.( Confessions of a Shopaholic-the movie)

About This Quote

In this movie, the character of Becky Bloomwood is spending a lot of money on stuff that she doesn't really need just because she wants to have everything. Some people have a tendency to shop because it makes them feel good. Others shop because they can't stand a feeling of emptiness in their lives. Whatever the reason, if we don't love ourselves and others, then we can never be satisfied. The Japanese have a saying, "Mujaku no chiisai o yasumimasu." This means "I desire something small." We should never let our desires get too big or we will only bring regret upon ourselves.
