A lot of times, we become very attached to things to such an extend that we become identified with the things that we possessed.
We like this, we love that, we cannot live without all of these...
Stop for a moment and think - "Why am I so attached to these things?"
Are you defined by what you own, by the physical possessions that you have, by your status and title?
What if you lose all these in the blink of an eye?
You will suffer a huge blow, lose sleep obsessing about your lost and even become depressed when you cannot reconcile the fact that the thing that you love is gone.
Why is this so? It is because of your ego, the "I" within you that has developed strong attachments. The ego cannot let go...
Since the very basic law of the universe is change, there is no way you will not suffer from losing something that you possess or love in your life time.
The only way to avoid these sufferings is not to be too attached to your things. Remember, in life, everything is transient - that is the DNA of life.
Everything changes - not for better or worse as what you perceived it to be. Everything changes just because it is so. There is no changes for the better or changes for the worse - it is how you perceives these changes to be. The changes are just as the universe is.
Therefore, do not have too much attachments. Whatever you have, just do not have it....
And you will live a happier life with full awakening...
