Summary

This quote suggests that we are constantly influenced and controlled by the objects and possessions in our environment. Our sense of self-worth and significance is determined by how much these objects limit or allow us to grow and thrive. Our attachment to material possessions can make us feel confined and powerless or give us a sense of freedom and fulfillment. Therefore, our perception of ourselves is deeply intertwined with our relationship to the objects we surround ourselves with.
