The Burden of Possessions
These items were Gandhi’s inventoried possessions after a zealot murdered him. I feel most of our lifestyles would not reflect thus. We acquire a lot of detritus along the way. George Carlin lamented our need to acquire storage space, so we could accumulate more STUFF.
Everyone gathers physical and emotional baggage along our chosen path: be it the road less taken or its alternative. We covet precious items not yet acquired and later cherish possessions which will only burden our successors. And when we are absent, those emotional and psychological problems we pulled from the drawer each night and ruminated over to the detriment of a good night’s sleep will just be willowisps floating in Night’s sky.
