I saw a lady in the subway station today.
She was fighting with the security guard(安检员), because①.
" It's expensive!" she said angrily, "The machine's going to make it dirty!"
I noticed the logo on that handbag when I passed by. Yeah, it was of luxury brand(奢侈品牌) and looked quite new. But if you check out the lady's other items and her behavior, it's not so difficult to see that②. So it's possible that the handbag really cost her too much, maybe the money she saved from every meal. And clearly it was also costing her valuable time and at the same time her good mood.
"Sad." I thought. My mother once told me, " Never buy anything if you can't really afford to use."
It's not only about money. It's about everything that you give up for it.
I'm very happy with my handbag that I bought online. It's not expensive. It's not of any luxury brand, but it's of great quality and designed in just the way I like it. That's enough.
When you buy things to use, you own the things.
When you buy things to admire, they own you.
