Background Information:
Excessive online shopping has become a prevalent issue in modern society, particularly with the ease of access to online marketplaces and the rise of consumer culture. This habit can lead to financial strain, increased debt, and even mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Studies reveal that impulse buying, often fueled by digital advertising and the convenience of online platforms, is a growing concern. Many individuals find themselves trapped in a cycle of purchasing items they do not need, leading to cluttered living spaces and a sense of dissatisfaction. This behavior can also strain relationships and distract from more fulfilling pursuits and responsibilities. The issue of excessive online shopping is not just about financial management but also about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and prioritizing one’s true needs and values. It reflects a deeper need for contentment and fulfillment, which can be addressed through spiritual and practical means.
