When you are extremely materialistic, Tim said to me, “you’ve always kind of got to be wondering about yourself—how are people judging you?” It forces you to “focus on other people’s opinions of you, and their praise of you—and then you’re kind of locked into having to worry what other people think about you, and if other people are going to give you those rewards that you want. That’s a heavy load to bear, instead of walking around doing what it is you’re interested in doing, or being around people who love you just for who you are.”
