What We Learn From Losing Stuff
-
Hi,
Let's start a more educational thread. Where we can learn something and be wiser.
I'd like to start with....what we can learn from losing stuff.
As an example, I will talk about my experience. Please also share and contribute your experience.
Several years ago,
I lost my handphone.
It was a sleek and expensive handphone. The brand was Siemens. It could play MP3. Really great.
One day I lost it.
I was upset, sad, angry.
After a few days of reflection, I realized my mistake.
My mistake was not losing the handphone, but getting upset over it.
I realized I was being attached to material things, to consumerism. To sleek and expensive toys.
I thought to myself why I cared so much for the phone. Would I be like that upset if I lost a lousy phone? Then I realized I was worshipping the sleek and expensive characteristics of the phone. I realized I completely got myself absorbed into superficial things. Why do I like sleek toys? To make myself feel good? To make myself look good? To boost my ego? Why do I need that phone? Is it not to call and SMS?
After that fateful day,
Until this day Im using a $80 Alcatel handphone.
Small, can call, can SMS. That's all.
The End. -

You don't learn anything in the end. Because you'll still do the same again...on other possessions.

Lost a handphone and some money before. Initially quite angry and regretful. But in the end, what goes around comes around. Whatever happens had happened. No point brooding over it. Sometimes, we learn our lessons through real life experiences and mistakes so yeah, now my handphone goes everywhere with me even if I'm in the shower it will be in the toilet in my sight. Every minute now and then, I'll do a routine check for my keys, handphone and wallet in my pockets. If the pocket feels flat, my heart will jump for a second. lol that's how paranoid I have become.
