The Stoics
The Cynics, a group of philosophers in ancient Rome, believed that true happiness could only be achieved through self-sufficiency and living a simple, minimalist lifestyle. They advocated for living in accordance with nature and rejecting material possessions as sources of true fulfillment.
The philosopher who taught that people should not be concerned with possessions was Epicurus. He believed that true happiness comes from inner peace and contentment, rather than material wealth or possessions. Epicurus focused on simplicity and moderation in order to achieve a life of tranquility and fulfillment.
The philosophy in question is stoicism. This was one of the two schools of Greek philosophy which became popular in Rome. The other one was Epicureanism.

It would be difficult to compel parents to give personal possessions back to a runaway, for the following reason. It would be legally construed that if someone moves out of a residence and leaves some possessions behind, those possessions are abandoned. Certainly a runaway who leaves possessions behind in the home of a parent, has not made any agreement about the storage of those possessions. People are not legally obligated to store the abandoned possessions of other people whom they used to live with. That said, if you can manage to maintain some degree of civil relationship with your parent, that parent should be willing to return your personal possessions. It is the decent thing to do.
Philosophers of the Enlightenment believed that government decisions should be based on reason, individual rights, and the pursuit of the common good. They emphasized the importance of a social contract between the ruler and the governed, with power derived from the consent of the people.
