Now: I'm tired; I'm frustrated; I'm jaded; I'm disgusted almost beyond control. Why? Because I have stuff. It's not that I have stuff though; it's that I have stuff I don't need! It's too much.
This isn't to say I'm being unappreciative or childish. This is more an issue of extravagance beyond the necessary, beyond the reasonable, and of inflated desires popping impulses in my brain to buy things every day of my life.
It's just too much.
Why do I need all this stuff? Why do I need $600s worth of gym equipment? Why do I need a treadmill when I can run outside? Why do I need to buy a new phone if my old one is still working; and even so, why do I need to buy an expensive one? Can't I be satisfied with a cheaper model?
I don't need any of this; I don't need the burden of owning all this stuff either.
(For the record, I've never bought $600 gym equipment or a treadmill, but my brother has. I am, however, guilty of buying an expensive phone for no good reason last time I upgraded a few years ago--never again, though.)
