If Material items way heavy on the soul why do we obsessively continue ?

It's just it seems ( now I only have the clothes on my back and the poems or polatics that I subscribe to) but I notice the more you possess the more tribulations you endure what is the soul benefactar in all of this, can we possibly break the cycle of obssession before material things consume the soul forever ?


  • Emptyness

    Well, you have to fill the empty space in your soul with something! Possessions become responsibilities. There is no ownership, we are possessions of the universe.

  • Material things

    I've heard that if you have lesser(enough) clothes than an abundance then you'll be better dressed and it is true. I think you can extend that to every other single thing out there as well except love. But the point is where do you say that this much is enough? I think your inner voice tells you, whether you listen to it or not is your business.
