Only if you didn't buy it for the psychological effect. There the point is not paying the secondary price.
This is also something which is usually unheard of in a consumerist society, where most things are bought because of utilitarian consideration and not "because ownership makes you feel better".
- psychoslave 3y agoWell, if we feel better because we own it for the simple "fact" that we own it, that is the utility we have from it. That said, we rarely get such a thing in anything we can acquire with only money as a price. For example it’s well known and documented that taking time into meditation sessions will give us many benefits, but no amount of book or titles like "special contributor of the temple" that we can acquire by throwing money at it will give us these same benefits. Money can buy us the prestige and some kind of social obedience, but it won’t auto-magically cultivate our mental flow into sane dynamics. Also let’s remember that there is no ownership outside of a society that recognizes us some form of prioritised policy implementation over some limited matter. So we can’t own anything without paying some price to remain included in this society. That’s the 0th price of any ownership, could we say.
