Materialism does not equate to sound comfort and security. In a more loving, spiritual point of view, materialism is an iPhone, a Macbook, a car, clothes, and beneficiary school payments, but things do not provide love from parents. Only affection and expressed, unconditional love can offer sound comfort and security. You can have everything in the world, and be grateful or ungrateful, but with no one to share your empire with, you've got nothing but a cheated human experience.
