Life in shopping centre

(Wishful thinking:  Let it be last post about my present work on this blog)
  We all agreed to be put in can without sunlight and air, to be stunned with too loud music, to be blinded with artificial lights and colors, to be tempted with specially prepared aromas. Some even find it great entertainment to spend Sundays with family in malls (sic!). Ok, maybe I see this from other perspective- of worker who spends 8 hours everyday there. Stuff in shop doesn't thrill you that much after seeing it again and again everyday. First idea was amazing- to put many shops in one big building. Add cafes and restaurants. Aha, let's not forget about cinema and parking space. But that idea lost it freshness right after second, third, fourth, etc. mall in each city. How much money we have to spend? The amount of them is limited. What with the amount of goods on shop shelves? What with the real value of the things? 
 There's something anarchistic in my soul that shouts loud when I start to think about it. Or maybe it's basic human dignity.
