Your Identity, Part 6: Your Possessions and Setting

In addition to your reputation, name, outstanding physical features, or personal characteristics, your identity (how others identify you) might include your outstanding material possessions and setting.

When you drive a vehicle or own a house that stands out to others, they identify you by it. Likewise, if you live in a community, work in a building or for a company, or participate in a social group that stands out to others, they identify you by it.

In some cultures, an individuals’ possessions are viewed as extensions of them. They are part of the whole individual who owns them. When they die, their possessions go with them. They’re either burned or buried with them. 

Do others identify you by one or more possessions? If so, what? Know how others identify you.
