An age-old question that continues its relevancy today is whether or not material possessions contribute to individual happiness. Many conclude that acquiring and owning material possessions will not bring true joy, however, it is evident that modern society places great value on material items, much more so than in the past. While it is true that material possessions are not essential to happiness, or provide a genuine meaning in life, there is something that can be said about owning property. It can be argued the happiness that possessions provide, while it may be momentary, is still considered happiness. However, many criticize the investment in luxuries as many believe indulgent purchases merely provide fleeting satisfaction.

The most important source for understanding Locke’s justification for individual entitlement to private property and possessions is Chapter V of The Second Treatise of Government, “Of Property”. Locke begins with the idea that each individual possesses ownership of their own body, and all labour performed with that body. He goes on to justify how property can be defined as anything one mixes their labour into through his example of picking acorns and gathering apples; “He that is nourished by the acorns he picked up under an oak, or the apples he gathered from the trees in the wood, has certainly appropriated them to h
