Friday, February 9, 2007Our Giant Footprint
I've finally become aware of why I'm so obsessed with the amount of
possessions I have. In a book by Peter Walsh (It's All Too Much)
he asks one to look at meaning of all the clutter. What I
realized is that reducing the amount represents accepting the end
of my life. I am acutely aware that when I die all
my worldly good will be discarded. Accepting that, I
better start accumulating less and discarding these things
myself rather than leave it to my heirs to dump.
