Materialism

======================

Materialism is the idea that the more things you have, the more

you are esteemed by others, and therefore, you believe it

enhances your own self-esteem.

You strive to buy all the things you can. You see someone else

has purchased a new thing that you don't have, so you strive to

buy one for yourself, even if the cost is greater than money you have.

You work longer hours to make more money to buy more things to

add to your stuff collection. You buy things that you think

will give you more pleasure, entertainment, convenience or

status. This means you spend less time with your loved ones and

less time taking care of yourself.

Then you die.

What happens to all your stuff? A lot of people believe you can take

it with you. The reality is you can't take it with you.

Anyone of your kin who is left behind get to decide what to do with your

stuff. Your stuff can then be sold in order to buy the types of

things they want. Your stuff can even be thrown away if there

is no value seen in it.

So much for your prized possessions.

There is one thing you can take with you: Love.

The human heart has an unlimited capacity for loving an

unlimited amount of people.

The more people you love in this life, the more treasures you

collect not only in this life but beyond. The more people you

love, the happier and more secure you will

feel, and this will go a long way in enhancing your self-esteem.
