RE: Better Living: Letting Go of Our Attachments to "Things"
I am still amazed by your pictures... they are really beautiful. So much better than the crappy free pictures I use which I find on Unsplash and Pixabay (which still is way better that nothing).
But, my wife always feels as if I am little attached to things. Today, I was vacuum cleaning my car, something I do every second year (at most). Why? I really don't care about it. In a way, it means that I am not good at taking care of what I own either, and thus, things are quickly broken and so.
This might more deal with a sloppy attitude than in what way I am attached to things, but to be honest, I think I could quite easily throw away everything in the house, besides the computers, the TV, and my family (and the kitchen stuff since I like to make food)!
I will have to think about that for some more minutes to see if that is actually true, but at least currently that is how I feel about it! :)
Same here :) Except my lap top and WIFI router, I can throw away anything belongs to me.
Seems like we are quite similar then! :) Well, I have a bad habit of eating some chocolate and drinking Coke... so that would be one more struggle for me... just came to my mind!
I'm trying consume minimum sugar, so I don't drink Coke at all.. Chocolate must be a weakness of everyone.
@denmarkguy: 02 attachments found! 😅
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! :)
