Impulse buys

Impulse buying or impulse purchase is something that everybody did. It is in

the human DNA to distress when demanded and the best way to do that is to go out.
When we are out and we see something attractive, something that most of our
friends do not have, we lead to buy it because it makes us feel above others. We feel
like a voice in our heads tells us what to do. That voice is our instinct, the instinct we
all have from our ancestors.
From the beginning of time, primates lived in societies that had superiors and
followers. This kind of structure is called a monarchy. Even that it sounds bad, it is
not because it has its advantages toward democracy. In a monarchy, there is much
more order and the decision are taken faster but the monarch can abuse its powers. In
a democracy, the decisions which involve population are decided by population and
everybody can vote what is best for them. Plus, if everyone has to vote it requires time
which, in an emergency, doesn't exist.
In present-day, we realized that people are corrupt, and we can not give all the
power to one, so democracy is a better choice. Also, some people desire power so
badly (mostly social) that in their subconscious developed an instinct that guides them
to buy everything they believe it is interesting and would make others feel inferior.
I believe in pure democracy because important decisions affect everyone and
this social power seek is pointless. This impulse buys in not impulsive, people just
seek for reasons to do whatever they want. Because they need excuses means that
they need a social mask to cover who they are.
"Impulse buy" is the pretext for the immature people and not everybody needs
it.
