The sticker got me thinking – we really are a disposable society. We like to use something a few times and then throw it away. It’s much easier and faster. There is no need to clean it, store it or to take care of it. When we’re done with it or tired of it, we can toss it and replace it.

In many ways it feels as if this disposable mentality has infiltrated other areas of our lives. It has moved beyond the items we use in our external lives and has attacked us in the way we many of us see our self-worth.
