I think that there might be a couple of items upon which
to reflect as you compose this essay. One might be to focus on how valuable emotional
attachments can be to an individual. For example, consider someone who lost a loved one
during the terrorist attacks of September 11. I am confident that many of them would
sacrifice all of their wealth and possessions in order to have one more conversation
with a loved one who was lost on that day. We hear of many stories of those who lost a
loved one calling the deceased's cell phone just to hear their voice on a message. This
might be one example to demonstrate how emotions and relationships are just as valid as
material reality.
Another instance would be the idea that
individuals can feel love as a part of their own lives, a realm that material reality
cannot touch. Being able to explore this on a personal or anecdotal level might be one
of the best approaches here. There are people in both real life and in literature who
would willingly sacrifice anything and everything for someone they love. Think about
individuals who enjoy a lifetime connection with they think is their "soulmate." While
it cannot be proven, it is as real to them as anything else, and one that supersedes
material reality.
