Luke 12:15; Jesus speaking, "And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things whcih he possesseth." Then Jesus went on to tell the parable of the man who had so much that he didn't have enough space for his coming crop. He was hording what he had, instead of putting it to use, or allowing others to use it to ease their pain and discomfort. He decided that he would pull down his barns and build bigger ones to old his crops. This was the bad part of that person, which is seen in what he said: 19;"And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast mcuh goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20; But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou has provided? 21; So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." God accepts us for who we are, not for what we have, and lyrehc is very correct in that if you find someone who is more interested in who you are than what you have you have someone who is very valuable!
I had a friend who did that, and he told me that he was afraid that one of the girls were going to commit suicide, and so it is very serious business. Now after he collected and selected, and has been married for a number of years he told me that he regrets that he went that route. So, yes, to answer your question, lie_ta, there are some who do that, and so you need to be a detective, and try to figure that out, so that you don't end up being just one of many, when you thought that you were one of one!
