The priority we give to material goods in our life
is up to each of us to determine.
This is also part of deciding how we want to define ourselves.
If we are looking to our jobs and to material things
to tell us how we are, what we are worth
and where we fit in the world
this is a sign that we have become profoundly confused
about the order of things.
It shows we have missed the point
about how we human beings stand
in relation to the material world.
