Materialism!! Leaving Cars where you crash them!!!

The problem isn't materialism as such. Rather it is the underlying assumption that full satisfaction can arise from gratifying the senses alone. Unlike animals whose quest for happiness is restricted to survival and to the immediate gratification of sensory desires, we human beings have the capacity to experience happiness at a deeper level which, when achieved, can overwhelm unhappy experiences.  -His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Whoever that bear was that left his Lamborghini on the side of the road after he crashed it, must hae more cars somewhere else.    Or I suppose that the bear was too something to figure out that one does not leave one's litter on the road.

The Dalai Lama says that materialism is not the problem as such but our question to satisfy our senses.  Our overwhelming need for instant gratification in our relationslhips, jobs, careers and play stresses and exhausts us!!! Still, hHow does one crash a car, leave it, and doesn't expect to be called on it?  So I am sure there is talk that he left because he didn't want to be tested for drugs and alcohol.   For whatever reason, which sense did the lamborghini satisfy?

This is a mother's lament.   Didn't anyone tell the bear to pick up after himself when he makes a mess?
