I go through life accumulating possessions... I've always done it... and then, every once in a while, a sort of tidal wave comes along and washes them all away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the second part of life you get rid of stuff you've accumulated.
All my possessions for a moment of time.
I have a lot of money stashed away, but I do live my life from day to day.
I buy things with the best of intention of living in them and then life intercedes.
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
We leave traces of ourselves wherever we go, on whatever we touch.
I don't have many possessions, apart from my books.
I've lived through what seems to most - and myself - many lives.
Nobody likes to throw stuff away. It's just antithetical to our sense of being a person. But we're all habituated to that way of living today.
That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.
