"O filósofo Erich Fromm previu uma sociedade baseada na obsessão por bens. Ele acreditava que os seres humanos tinham duas orientações: TER e SER. Uma pessoa com uma orientação para TER busca adquirir e possuir coisas, propriedade, até pessoas. Mas, uma pessoa com uma orientação de SER, foca-se na experiência da qual derivam significados de doar, comprometer e dividir com outras pessoas. Infelizmente, Fromm previu uma cultura guiada pelo materialismo e comércio como a que vivemos hoje. Ela é condenada à orientação de TER, o que leva à insatisfação e ao vazio. Quando levamos em consideração que nos anos 60 não existia essa coisa de 'self storage' nos Estados Unidos e hoje há mais de 600 milhões de metros quadrados dedicados a isso, nos faz pensar que Fromm tinha razão."

A person with a guide to HAVING seeks to acquire and possess things, property, even people. But a person with an orientation BEING focuses on the experience from which they derive meaning to donate, engage and share with others. Unfortunately, Fromm provided a culture driven by materialism and commerce as we live in today. It is ordered to the orientation of HAVING, which leads to disatisfaction and emptiness. When we consider that in 60's there was no such thing as "self storage" in the United States and today there are over 600 million square meters dedicated to it, makes us think that Fromm was right."
