Buddha said that attachment to things brings great suffering. If you can’t let go and realize that change is inevitable in life you will feel distressed. Things are just that..things. I can’t tell you how I have loved giving away so much “stuff” and getting rid of furniture and anything that we don’t “need”. I have also given away some sentimental things since memories are in my heart and not in objects. I have never been one for knick knacks or collectibles so it is probably easier for me than most. It’s very sad to see people on TV that have problems with hoarding. If you know anyone like that try to encourage them to seek professional help as hoarding is a much deeper problem.
So am I sad to leave my house? The answer is “no because wherever my husband and three cats are is home. Home is in your heart so you can never really leave it”.
Peace,
Maria
