In the modern world every one is eager to get possessions. If your eagerness to get possessions is not held in check, it can drive you too annoying situations. Possessions alone do not contribute to happiness. Yet the desire for possessions is a natural tendency in human beings.
Early in life children start saying “MY” and “MINE”. There is a thrill in collecting autographs, stamps, coins, match labels short biographies, adventure stories, etc.,
This results in a sense of pride of possession. Later on, as adults they collect all sorts of objects most of them out any natural value.
Uncontrolled desire of acquisition and pride in the feeling of ownership may rob you of some of the finest features of your character. Many instances of disappointment in life are due to feelings of jealousy and greed for wealth among people.
As a balanced individual you have to direct the passion for possession into a desire for the best gifts. You must desire to possess not for impressing others but for distributing your gifts for the benefit of the public. You must acquire riches but you must share them with your fellowmen.
