"Henry David Thoreau believed that in order to live well, we must reduce the number of material goods we have. Otherwise, these things begin to dominate us. Take a position on this and explain."
I agree with this quote because it's basically saying that you don't need to be rich and have money to be happy. Just because you're rich doesn't mean you enjoy what you do and are happy. It could mean that you buy all these material items to make up for what happiness you don't have.
Having less material items makes you enjoy the "little things" in life, such as family, friends, and enjoying yourself. When you have more material items such as a car, big house, or any other expensive items, you start to lose focus on what really matters in life. What really matters in life is being happy an being around people that love you. Not objects that cost a lot.
