Commentary: What people surround themselves with says a great deal about what they give their attention to, what interests them, what they spend their time on, what they value.
I am at the age when many of my friends are scaling back. They are moving out of the houses where they raised their children and moving into much smaller places, little bungalows, condos or apartments. But first they have to get rid of many possessions accumulated over a lifetime.
People are also reading… And now we have a house full of stuff, and I keep thinking we need to get rid of most of it.A mirror on our bathroom wall has a large pink flamingo painted on the surface. It is indescribably ugly, but I wouldn’t part with it for the world. One of the commonly overlooked aspects of the material objects we surround ourselves with is that they not only say something about who we are — our relationships, our history, our tastes — they also change the ways we interact with the world. They influence how we think and what we do, and much of that influence is positive.
Then there are decorative items, like paintings and photographs, curiosities and collectibles. They are visible expressions of one’s invisible thoughts and feelings. When I walk into a house that is perfectly arranged, with sparkling furniture straight out of a showroom, I think: Here is a person who seeks the approval of others.
