Many people are driven by materialism. Their desire to acquire becomes the whole goal of their lives. This drive to always want more is based on the misconceptions that having more will make them more happy, more imp. & more secure, but all 3 ideas are untrue. Possessions only provide temporary happiness. Because things do not change, people become bored w/ it and then want newer versions. Self worth and net worth are not the same. Your value is not determined by your valuables, and GOD SAYS THE MOST VALUABLE THINGS IN LIFE ARE NOT THINGS.
