how can you describe a materialistic person?

here's another question for you to answer...

do your material possessions own you or do you own them?

be honest in answering.

thanks!

Answer 1

one who cannot live without material things..

one whose world depends solely on clothes,equipments,gadgets,etc.

answer to the second Q:

i own them. i'm not a materialistic person.

Answer 2

It's a person that is concerned more about physical stuff rather than the soul. As far as a relationship goes you want to steer clear away from these types of people because the truth is they don't give a c**p about you.

Neither, it doesn't own you or you don't actually own it. You are just sinning for it because you desire it.  

Answer 3

1. A materialistic person is one who would explore one's pocket rather than that person itself.

2. There is a very think line between owning it and being owned by it. Even if I say that I own my material possession...there are still times that our fates would twist that would go otherwise.

Live more in God. You will soon find yourself more in tune with living in His paradise than in SM.=D

Answer 4

Materialistic people are people like Karl Marx( i think since reading Karl Marx's biography in comic form) They refute the reality of any religious/spiritual connection, which is called idealism. These is  in the point of view of philosophy.

Answer 5

1. they occupy space, and have mass,  

2. you own them if you got them fully paid, otherwise, you are their

    slaves, they'll make you work your a$$ out for the monthly

    amortization + interest

Answer 9

they're those people who were always preoccupied with material rather than spiritual or intellectual things. they're always envious when a neighbor or a friend have this new jewelry or car for themselves.

the only material thing i had is my old guitar and i definitely own it.  

Answer 10

A person that cares more for what they own than what they give.

All of my possessions are trash and I have and can walk away and leave them all behind anytime.

For any that think materiality is a virtue, I would challenge you to find the definition of " sin ".

You miss the mark.
