"My Wood" Response

In his essay "My Wood," E.M. Forster inputted his belief that property makes a man feel "heavy." Therefore, making the biblical reference that "it was a man of weight who failed to get into the Kingdom of Heaven," Forster seems to be against the owning of property. But, when he mentions that this man was not "wicked," he seems to contradict his first thought. Basically with this contradiction, Forster is saying that the owning of property can be dangerous but not all property is bad, depending on how one deals with that power. I completely agree with this belief. Power affects people in many ways. A strong person can deal with property without always wanting more and believing that the more property he has and the more he does with his property will make him happier. This person is not "a man of weight." On the other hand, there are the weaker beings who worship their property and believe that property is the equivalent to happiness. Along with Forster, I believe that property can be good and bad, depending on how the power is handled.
