“Why Does It Feel So Good Taking Advantage Of Bargain Prices On Black Friday?” (Quora)

Dr. Michael LaitmanMichael Laitman, On Quora: Why does it feel so good taking advantage of bargain prices on Black Friday?

It is the human ego. We do not want to be suckers, and when we take advantage of bargain prices, we feel as if we get the upper hand. However, what we fail to realize is that we are being toyed with.

The sales toward the end of the year that excite people to buy double is done on purpose in order to make people feel good about taking advantage of all the shopping, but really who fools whom?

It is the human ego that makes us restless.

We would be better of sitting down and doing nothing, without looking at all the products in the shops.

Instead, we need to feel whether we truly need something, without any external stimulation, and then consider whether it is correct to buy it. If we discern that we need it, then we can go ahead and buy it. Anything that we buy beyond that, buys us instead.
