Skanky Old Mongrel!
I am agree with you, it is not wrong to own objects in life, but i see it is a problem in a spiritual life to cling to objects we buy or gain. they are there for some time, then they are gone. or lost. and when we die we can not bring them with us
Yes! Agreed!
A big problem!
I have this strange psycho-condition, a treasured gift. The more possessions I gather around myself, so the more depressed I become.
And so, whenever I feel down at heart, or sad, I gather together lots of my collected things and either give them to the charity shops or to friends that would like certain items, or I go and deal with them all for some single item that I might fancy. And afterwards I feel on top of the world....... more free. Of course, being married to my lovely wife I cannot involve any of the things which she treasures, just personal stuff of my own.
And the amazing thing is, the most wonderful 'things' keep falling in to my lap. This week I went to the first boot-fair of the summer and at 9am hordes of people rushed amongst the sale-tables in frantic haste for bargains. I strolled slowly through the boot-fair and amazing bargains just called out for my attention. My wife collects 80mm glass 'diamonds' in various colours.... I searched all over the World on ebay to add to her collection and have not found any additional colours for many years until that boot fair, when I found 2 more new colours for her for £2 each. I also bought a toy cannon for £1 which I guessed might be a real 19th century working black-powder cannon... it is etc etc....
Stuff comes and goes like the air that I breath...... I don't collect air!
