Things
We often focus on acquiring more possessions and more things convinced that we can find in them the happiness life brings.
We wear our things. We drive our things. We trade, we sell, we buy
and yet we still feel unfulfilled
and somehow wonder why.
We believe success is stored within what we’ve gotten, what we own and if things surround us everywhere, we will never be alone.
It’s true, they do, enhance our lives,
but they only offer mass and weight.
No matter how much we may care for them, they cannot reciprocate!
They cannot love. They cannot laugh. They cannot embrace or cry. And when we’re feeling disillusioned, things will never ask us why.
They cannot feel. They cannot care. They do not wake to greet the dawn. They cannot listen, cannot share. They do not miss us when we’re gone.
The most treasured gifts in life
are those not able to be bought,
for our things will still be standing here, long after we are not.
