Material things make up so much of our daily lives, it's what we take in. Some people have little, some have a lot. I know I have a lot of things and am a bit of a hoarder. But these things make me happy, and I can't make myself throw things away even though I know I'm not taking these things anywhere after death. It'll all be pointless at that point but why can't I enjoy many many things right now?
I wrote a poem thing in my notebook about this, I'll revisit it.
This also makes me think of the song - my favourite things. I've been thinking about it because Ariana Grande's song 7 rings came out and it's been played everywhere. In it she was basically saying everything she wants, she got. Also, 'whoever said money can't solve problems must not had enough to solve them' and 'happiness is the same price as red-bottoms' (the high-end louboutin shoes) which made me think a lot as well. I know this is just a fun song to flaunt everything she has and achieved, but I think it really says a lot about our society today. Perhaps she was meaning that as well.
