“The problem is not that we own but how we own. We have to consider how we acquire things and how much we acquire. We have to think about how we possess things and how tightly we hold them. We have to be aware of how we consume things and how we use them. Do we acquire, possess, and consume in selfish ways? In what ways does our owning come at the expense of our neighbor? Does it directly or indirectly oppress and marginalize her?”
