"you are what you have".Does this state means our possessions reflect ourself?

Answer 1

Yes. That's how I'd interpret it.

Answer 2

Possessions come and go. I can have money in the bank, but live cheaply and have cheap things. Does that mean I am poor or cheap?

I can have a huge expensive house, fine automobile, rich jewelry and clothes and home furnishings. However, I would not have a penny in savings and would be up to my head hair folicles in debt. Does that make me rich?

You cannot tell a book by its cover. I have never heard the expression you use in your question.

None of us own anything anyway. You only get to use what you have until you leave this world. Then someone else uses it. You can't take it with you.

I believe that possessions are a burden. Ask any rich person.

If I drive a fine car, am I a better human being than one who drives a clunker?

It's what is inside of you that is brought forth that determines who you really are. You are not of external things but of your internal being.

Answer 3

In all truth
In America, it's yours if you bought it right/
Consider private domain (you can loose your home to the rich at any time)
Consider taxation (you are forced to pay a crimianal enterprise to defend you from antoher crimanial enterprise)
In all reality the only thing you really have is your body, which can be taken at anytime at all
so in effect you have nothing
nothing at all
only God gives us things, and that is love, and family and freinds.
the rest is fake and can burn, crash, or be stolen at any time.
