Anne Bradstreet’s house, where all her possessions belonged, was burned down. Initially she was upset and complained about it. But later, an idea popped up to her mind that God gave her everything, so He can take everything away too. She believed that she, herself, was worth more than her possessions. I appreciate with her optimistic idea and how she interpreted this event. However, I don't believe the person, or God, gave can be taken back without a clear, appropriate reason.
Material possessions are pretty important in my life. I believe they help me expressing myself in a better way. However, I have a clear idea that things in my mind are more valuable than all other material possessions. If all of my possessions got burned down into ashes, I would feel extremely upset. Nevertheless, I would probably start all over and try to chase back everything I lost. In all of my possessions, the least thing I would want to lose is my CD collections because it took me a lot of time to collect them, and some of them are already out of print. The thing that I can easily live without is my collection of old textbooks because they are all from local schools.
