Quote by Peace Pilgrim

Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness possesses you, and in this materialistic age a great many of us are possessed by our possessions.


Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usef

Summary

This quote suggests that if we hold onto something even after it has become useless or no longer serves a purpose, it begins to control and dominate our lives. In today's society, which focuses heavily on material possessions, many of us fall into the trap of being possessed by our belongings. We become overly attached to material things, allowing them to define our worth and identity. This quote serves as a reminder to evaluate the significance of our possessions and let go of what no longer adds value to our lives.
