    Because then I'll know where I'm up to 3 years ago

    The attic and my old bedroom back at my parents’ house are full of piles and piles of useless CRAP. This Summer I promised to get rid of it, but the thought of approaching such a task makes me feel genuinely scared. Even though most of it is meaningless junk, I just know I’ll have problems either throwing or giving a lot of it away. I just can’t stop being a “stuff person”. It drives me mad.



    POSSESSIONS , rich , poor , selfish , victim 3 years ago

    Because it`s the crude reality…
    IT was a nighmare when I first had to moove to another town…
    It was more tnan 2 years ago , and there are things , i can`t simply touch because of the work they are going to give me…
    Result »»»I have things packed for more than 2 years , and I don`t know what it is…
    So…..
    Do I really need them !!
    I never felt the need otherwise they would be outside…
    In Asia , budist monks make an anual check on their (small ) possessions…
    If they didn`t use some object in the year before , they get rid of it , so new energies can come in…
    Wy can`t we let it go…
    What REALLY ties us to things are memories , and shelfishness…
    Give away things we bought? No way !
    But when we go , that is when we ties of this earth , we dont take any earthly thing with us , except our deeds !
    Everithing else stays here…For others !
    It may seem dificult in the begining, but after a while , you think that give to others ( needy or just will apreciate those things) is semms a bit like when you taste freedom.
    «I`m not a slave of material things »
    And that is more …OUTRAGEOUS when we know we cam make a HUGE diference , with our SMALL things , SMALL gestures , so SMALL sacrifice !



    Where did all this stuff come from? 4 years ago

    Did I really buy it all? What was I thinking of? Was it mere ‘comfort purchasing’? I guess it could be worse; I could have begun to ‘comfort eat’ and gotten F A T, or tried ‘comfort drinking’ and found alcoholism, or gone for ‘comfort thinking’ and become religious … But if I only wanted to escape reality, why Why WHY did I just go out and buy a whole bunch more of it?

    eBay, here I come!
