    Now that they have all these objects and they need to keep them to feel good about themselves. They have raised the bar so high it causes stress. If they are famous they are stressed about having privacy. If they are rich they are stressed about losing all their money. If they are beautiful they are stressed about staying that way. Oi vey!
