"所有物への執着こそが、私たちが自由で高貴に生きることを妨げる最大の原因です。"
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
Focusing too much on owning things can stop us from living a happy and meaningful life. For example, imagine someone who wants to buy the latest phone, the newest clothes, and the best car. They spend all their time and energy earning money to get these items. Because of this, they miss out on spending time with family, making friends, or pursuing their passions. Instead of feeling free, they feel trapped in a cycle of buying and wanting more. To live a good and free life, it's better to value experiences, relationships, and personal growth over material things.
