FOMO: The Consumer Trap in Spirituality
Individuals face a dilemma when exploring various spiritual paths, such as meditation styles or philosophies. The abundance of options, like Greek reconstructionism or Daoism, leads to confusion about which is the right fit. Online communities continually debate the 'best' practices, fostering a consumerist mindset where the act of searching becomes a form of spiritual experience. This results in a paradox where merely possessing a practice diminishes its appeal, driving the persistent fear of missing out (FOMO) on potentially superior alternatives. In contemporary culture, the true essence of spirituality has shifted, reflecting a transactional relationship where the act of consumption overshadows genuine spiritual engagement.
