I do not agree with this because everyone is surrounded by materialistic goods. Every family has materialistic goods. These can be clothes to a dish washer or a car. Not having these types of goods is nearly impossible. By using these goods, Henry David Thoreau states that you will become dominated by these materialistic goods.
A dish washer is materialistic without a doubt. I could do without it by hand washing my dishes but that would be pointless if i have a machine to do it for me. My dish washer is not dominating me by any means. I can choose when and when not to use it. Therefore i do not agree with his statement.
