Sometimes it gets pretty hard to separate what I NEED from what I WANT. However, I pretty much need my glasses...don't I? Do I need the spring-loaded hinges on them? The scratch-resistant extra-thin lightweight plastic lenses? The stylish look? (OK...my kids say that's a matter of opinion) It seems like everything associated with making judgments about our stuff gets pretty murky, not least because of deeply buried inner stuff like cultural expectations, societal and class norms and...oh yes... that thing.....ego...yeah.
If you've never seen it, George Carlin's classic routine about "stuff" is a must! Humor has a way of cutting through some of the inner sludge.
