Saying One

‘Material things aren’t the essence of a person; whether we have more or less doesn’t make us more or less parents, guardians, mentors, role models, spouses or friends. Materials things are just that – we are born without and leave without them. What’s within us – our values and the fruits of life – are our essence. Sharing them or not sharing them makes us more or less of who we are’.
