- J.D. Salinger
About this Quote
This quote by J.D. Salinger speaks to the difficulty of living with somebody when there is an imbalance in the quality of possessions. It recommends that if a single person has nicer things than the other, it can produce stress and animosity. This could be due to feelings of envy or jealousy, or just since someone seems like they are not being respected or valued. It is important to remember that material belongings do not define an individual, which having nicer things does not make somebody better than another. It is very important to be mindful of the differences between roommates and to be considerate of each other's possessions. Ultimately, it is essential to remember that having a great relationship with your roomie is more important than having nicer things.
