This question refers to the essay "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris. In this essay, Morris argues that possessing and desiring things can be a burden on people. She refers to this burden as a "tyranny," due to the fact that such a need can end up controlling and affecting your whole life. Morris also talks about the value of things, as she urges us to only acquire those things that truly bring value to us. Finally, she discusses the call for things, as well as the urge that people often have to own more than they need, even if this causes them more problems than benefits.
