I have never had closeness to material things. There was only one thing that I always had with me and that I considered - maybe it due to the circunstances - as a good-luck charm. However, in my opinion, the rest of material things are only a burden that constrain and limit your freedom in some way. The important things in life are those that can not be paid with money... I know, it sounds like an advertising, but in my view it is so. Love, health, affection, happiness,... these non-material goods are the ones I think everybody should follow, wish and fight for. Nevertheless, I would lie if I didn't say that I felt so sad when I lost my bagle.
