RE: Better Living: Letting Go of Our Attachments to "Things"
Thank you!
The back seats of our car is a disaster area, perhaps because it is only my wife and myself... back there is an archeological site of shopping bags, empty soda bottles, hats, jackets, tools we needed with us at some time and goodness knows what else!
In writing the above post, one of the things I learned about myself is that I am "attached" to making sure that stuff that's still useful finds a new owner. I am no good at just "throwing it away." I take time to find someone who can use it, or I sell it.
Well, I am often too lazy to sell things, unless it has some real value. But, I don't buy expensive things, so normally the value is so little and I am so lazy, that I just throw it away or once a year in Hungary we have this thing where you can through all your leftovers and garbage on the street for one day. You can throw out old furniture, kitchenware, pillows, broken bathtubs, whatever.... For one day, people drive around with big cars and pick up what they want (and they will often sell it), and in the end, the local authorities send big cars to pick up the rest of the garbage and get rid of it... This is a golden opportunity for me to cleanse the house! :)
