I’ve had rea­son to pon­der prop­erty own­er­ship and the break­down of the tra­di­tional com­mu­nity lately and fig­ured I’d share a few of my thoughts with you.

We live in such a con­sumer state that the quest for ever-more stuff in our lives is becom­ing an all-consuming pas­sion for peo­ple and these two sep­a­rate hap­pen­ings have given me cause to reflect on the nature of prop­erty and what it all really means.

What irks me though, is that peo­ple feel a sense of enti­tle­ment to the prop­erty of oth­ers; we’re drawn to the shinier-fancier-prettier stuff that other peo­ple have and we’ve been con­di­tioned to desire it almost at-all-cost.. Why do we for­get man­ners in the face acqui­si­tion? Why is this still desire still acceptable?
