Yes once you own too much your possessions starts to own you.
- jungletime 6y agoYes so true. The golden toilet in Trump's 5th bedroom, has no practical utility to him. He never even uses it. In fact, its a liability. It will likely fail and flood his mansion eventually. If it serves a purpose, it is to be symbol of his wealth and power. Like a juggler, that juggles a sixth ball. To wow and impress. There is a point where all possessions become a liability. This is why I think rich people are sometimes caricatured as Scrooge McDucks. Every new possessions is a problem. So some overreact, and would rather just hold onto money to an extreme. A local billionaire patches his rusty international bridge with wood beams. Extremely rich people fascinate me, because their psychological faults, and inherent human pathology has the fuel to really flower.

- lostlogin 6y agoI agree with your point. In regard to this comment: > it is to be symbol of his wealth If this week’s papers are any guide, the symbolism has become more complex.
