As I defend Plato’s argument of owning objects is detrimental to a person’s character and Jean-Paul Sartre proposes that ownership extends beyond objects to include intangible things as well with the meanings of ownership. In addition to Plato’s argument, it means that if they lost that object, it may be harmful to who they are.…

He reached the house just as another flash of lightning changed the night to day for an instant, then returned the graffiti-scarred building to the grim shadows.”…
The feelings and sensations sparked by remembrance of memories are luxurious. Money may provide someone with luxuries, such as a million dollar house, gold watches, or designer purses, but memories cannot be bought, as well as cannot be replaced or forgotten. Memories cannot be stolen or lost, like money or jewelry can. Our memories and experiences are ultimately what makes us rich, in the priceless emotions which brings us tears, joy, and laugher.

"Owning" a skill can reward you with tangible items, owning experiences, and opinions institute uniqueness. Everything you own, tangible and intangible, helps distinguish character.…
