I think humans have innate tendencies to own objects, we use tools, we need clothes, we cook and we store food. It's biology and culture.
But it's just been to easy to buy things and that's why we have too much stuff.
It's like food, we love sweet and creamy, it's biology, so in a land of milk and honey it's too easy to put on weight.
Like you said, we have to be aware. ๐
