We all know attachment to something or someone is not
great! I recently experienced an emotion, that probably may make me
stronger.
I bought a new car last month, from the savings from my
working days. Naturally I love my car. I drive daily and its my first
car after kids. 2 days back, there was a problem with the car and we had
to get it towed to the service place. Seeing my car getting chained up
and towed brought tears in my eyes! I felt so sad for those few moments!
Of course after a while I was completely fine. I know these
things happen. But it made me think. Imagine the emotional state when
we are attached to people. Seeing my car having a small problem, made
me so emotional. It made me think about the time when I lost my father.
There is no comparison whatsoever. But it just makes me think about
human emotions and attachments. Incidents like this remind us that
nothing is permanent in this world. Nothing lasts forever.
Its definitely not worth to get attached to material stuff!
I always said no to an expensive phone because I know I would feel very
bad if even a smallest thing happened to it. Now I have decided to buy
fewer things, because the more things I possess, the more I may get hurt
if I lose it.
Now comes the tricky part of not being attached to people
:) I am one big emotional person. But I learn and change daily. I guess
we just have to follow the motto of live for today and live in the
moment. Cherish what we have right now, and not think about tomorrow too
much as none of us know what's in store for us.
