That freedom to be able to go to school? Yeah, you really don't need that either. Whenever people say things like this it always baffles me. Of course we don't need all this stuff, but do we really need anything (except the obvious)? Well... no. |
I think the message is a little stronger than that. Have you ever known someone because they collect things? Maybe a guy who collects star wars items. He collects all this star wars stuff to the point that it defines him. He buys them thinking that it will make him happy and that without them he would no longer be happy. That he is buying happiness is what i think he is trying to say. You dont hav to buy happiness because happpiness is within and all the things in this world that you "think" you need will not change you as a person. Object doesnt define you but some people let them define them
Does that make sense? i tried explaining it the best i could
