If we do not limit our material goods, will they begin to dominate us? 12/5

The idea of  limiting your amount of material possessions to prevent them from dominating you came from Henry David Thoreau. I agree with Thoreau on this matter. Owning a great amount of material possessions can distract people from more important things. These include proper human connection,discovering hidden talents, and looking deep down inside yourself to discover what you truly desire in life. Likewise, when you own a large amount of material possessions, you will most likely develop a need to obtain more and more. It is a sort of an addiction or obsession. Life's material narcotic.
