Difference between loving a thing and loving a person- Victoria Conti

A lot of people are very materialistic, and they hold the items in their possession very dear to them. It seems they might care about the material things more than anything in the world, and make them out to be the most important. The problem with that is, things are not what is most important, it is people that we love. We can all have items that we just “love,” but they can be replaced more than likely. When it comes down to the people in your life, there is only of them, and they can’t really be replaced. In today’s society it seems we are so focused on having the newest and best thing there is, and we put too much importance on that, and fail to realize the importance of other things. We love our items so much, and spend so much time with these replaceable things, yet some people will not take an hour out of their day to spend time with loved ones. It is not bad to have an item that you really like, but it is so important to remember that it really is just an item most of the time. Although sometimes we may have an irreplaceable item that a family member or loved one has given to us, and that is different than an item we just bought for no reason. At the end of the day more people need to realize, that things are just things, but people are people, and social interaction is what matters most.
