About this Quote

In this quote, Peace Pilgrim is highlighting the concept that having too many belongings can really be a problem rather than a source of joy. She thinks that the more possessions one has, the more responsibility and care they require. This can result in an absence of liberty and simpleness in one's life. Rather, she recommends that true joy comes from having simply enough possessions, but not an extreme amount. This allows for an easier and more satisfying way of living. Peace Pilgrim's message is a tip to focus on what really brings us joy and to let go of unnecessary belongings that might weigh us down.
