A line from a Sting song written 22 years
ago now sums it up for me "forever conditioned to believe that we
can't live here and be happy with less".

So was that the point at which Sting decided he no longer wanted to
be a multimillionaire rock star, gave all his money away to charity
and stopped making records which people could obviously live without ?

Seemingly not, if his discography is anything to go by.

Poor old Sting eh ? "Forever conditioned" to be a multimillionaire
rock star.

Our thoughts go with him, I'm sure.


stings lifestyle apart, the sentiment works for me. It acts as a good guise
by which to many things told to me by advertising or wants that people are
trying to turn in to needs."Buy this, be an individual", just like the
millions of other people. "This will improve your lifestyle", as well as
lightening your wallet. I refuse to be conditioned to be a consumer I guess.
