“Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.”

I decided to put this quote into the blog, for this is a good way of questioning one significant value of man. Do we rely too much on our possessions, in terms of defining ourselves? Is a person with less money and other goods less valuable as a human being, compared to someone else who has got 'everything'?
This topic has been discussed for centuries, if not millenia. But in my opinion it is still relevant, as the world seems to be more materialistic than ever. We are a visual and possessive species, and we like to compare ourselves through things. As a good example, the neverending arms race between neighbours who try to outdo each other by higher and better trimmed rasberry bushes and shinier cars.
But in the end: what makes a succeeded individual?
