There is this one relative who always cribs about ancestral property breaking up and going to weird places. Also about heirlooms that are unjustly distributed, jewelry that was wrongfully taken away from the real family, about artwork that has gone where it is not deserved or appreciated and things like that.
Today, however, the relative was talking about the large amount of utensils in the house. Like how the number of plates, vessels and cutlery was enough for three generations to come, and how nothing further had been thought of.
Funny thing is how much time, money and effort we spend acquiring new possessions, and how much of what that remains we spend in complaining that we have too much junk around.
