We as English folk are often enamored by things. Things in our lives should not be just as they are, but rather we want things to have a particular pizazz to them. A house is not just a house, but generally people want a ‘nice’ house. So, it is with the automobile. People want ‘new’ cars. Whatever it is, really, we desire it to be grand. That’s the outer-world’s way. Things become the focus of all our energy, our future goals, what we long to attain in and out of life. The belief is present that these wonderful things will make us happier, or further complete, on our journeys to the end, when it is all given up. The prevailing belief is that the nicer things of life bring more and more happiness.
