Priorities

At Chelly,
I completely agree with you and your father and you guy’s strong belief in relationships and not in material items. Marji deep down inside was a strong believer in not becoming attached to material items. Her father on the other hand is very attached to his possessions and this is what causes him to stay in Iran and not leave and go to the United States where he would be safe. He responds to his wife asking her if she wanted to be a maid. Marji’s father clearly exemplifies with this statement that he is too focused on material items when he should be focused on saving the lives of his family. I think Marji recognizes this and tries to become a polar opposite and not base her life around possessions but base it off of experiences and relationships. Memories are made up of situations and experiences and not of possessions therefore, possessions shouldn’t be a huge part of any human’s life. Possessions only makes the craving worse for more and more until you cant even enjoy life. In the end, people everywhere need to stop thinking about items and just enjoy life by having good experiences to remember.
