The desire for things is not intrinsically wrong. You find yourself in a world where this and that are necessary to carry on in a comfortable way. The problem arises when such desire becomes more of an obsessive yearning, when it starts to control you. You seem to be never satisfied, nothing is good enough, nothing "is" ever enough. Consequently, you start arranging your life in order to "get" stuff to just possess it, instead of having it serve you. You possibly have the wrong idea - so largely cherished nowadays - that "having" is all you need to "be" important. You mistake true value for possession. And when you don't succeed in "getting" what you want, you feel deprived, betrayed, unhappy.
