「Displaying possessions」can be one way of counting one's BLESSINGS and can bring HAPPINESS (not too many truly happy sick and/or starving folks, are there?). What religious dogmas often teach about possessions:「thereupon, what comes next, hereafter」is BLESSINGS, HAPPINESS (so give all your money to them, since it can't buy a place in heaven, anyway). Fact is, while money and possessions cannot buy happiness, they do make a substantial down payment…if you do not have, you cannot give.
The possession referred to in the right element literally is「erection in two no-longer-integrated feet」of a sexual slave, one's prized possessions in the old days of dynastic China, often associated with religion and divinity.「Possessing religion」in those good ol' days meant visiting the shaman's temple and her shrine cohorts and genuflecting before a diva as an icon.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
