After adventures, creative endeavors, and hard work, what is better than the deep satisfaction of stillness?  If I’m still, I’m inclined to think about the things that really matter in life, the things money cannot buy.  

On the contrary, I believe restlessness is at the heart of a consumerist society.  If I’m constantly in pursuit of the next best thrill, then of course I’ll need my wallet open and ready to buy whatever can take me there.
