With all the things you have in your life, are you any more happy than your dog? — RAMESH BALSEKAR
Hanging on to things is a way to avoid change. Change is inherent in every cell of your body. It occurs every second of your life. Nothing stands still. You can pretend change is not happening by distracting yourself with things that don't matter. But that doesn't suit you. You've been anesthetizing yourself with things to create a false sense of stability; meanwhile, change is going on inside and around you all the time.
