About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?

Actually, we don't...it's all a fantasy created by Madison Ave. and Hollywood (and the Khardashians)to make us feel empty without all the crap they say we need.KharisJo says,
think so many people try to externalise inner needs - things represent status, comfort, even therapy. Maybe they try to fill a void that should be filled with self esteem and meaningful relationships.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX says,
very true...things may be pretty, prestigeous, etc. but they soon lose their luster when there's nothing else in your life.Level1 says,
K & D, you both make very good points. Rather than things, going forward I am going to try to acquire more people and relationships in my life. I have enough things. It is the people in our lives and the experiences we share that make for the richest lives.
