The more items we own, the less we value them. Think of the rich kid with every toy on the planet. Do you think he/she will even notice if one toy is missing? Probably not. Compare that to a poor child with only a handful of toys…if they lose one toy, they notice. It affects them much more.
Taking this one step further, you can also relate this to friendships. Having fewer friends, but being closer with them, is better than having a lot of “friends” who you barely talk or hang out with, let alone really “know.”
Less is more. Do not focus on the quantity of what you have/don’t have, focus on the quality. Don’t aim to know a bunch of people on a surface-level, but have deep, meaningful relationships instead.
