Last Week of Monday...my apartment has been burglarized. My bedroom has been trashed and all the money and jewelleries on that room were gone.
What did I lost?
Piggy banks money..lots of it...big beatuful expensive jewelries...UNINSURED.
How did I feel?
Lost energy, my knees are like jello...am barely talking.
Police went and came next day because according to him there is not enough cruiser car from previous night. He got some info ,no fingerprinting in the premises and sent me a wrong case number next day.
I did not cry. I did not whine. I did not make a big thing out of it.
I am stronger that I could ever thought I can be and that unfortunate incident made me learn that I am truly unattached to stuff. I have lost at least $10,00 worth of goods and money and I am not feeling depressed and taken by that loss.
I know more now that I am what I preach and that I have reached that higher level of tolerance to material stuff. I am not a slave to the things I love to buy and wear.It is merely an expression of style and outer beauty. It is just a comforting material to own or to know that i own but not real gem for my whole being. I have lost many many many things,money and opportunities.
I have forgiven and forgotten.
I am not allowing that thief to ruin my life and attitude in life. Yes, life sucks most of the time but you gotta' love how we learn from it and enjoy what's left. I am tested many times. I have been hurt deeply. I have been used, neglected and fooled yet I am still genuinely celebrating the life that I have in my own way.
I am calm,collected and at peace ...with this power in me I have never lost anything at all.
Just like what my favorite quote says "Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.-Andre Gide".
More quotes i have found that hopefully can help all of you in these materialistics time on earth.
Riches do not delight us so much with their possession, as torment us with their loss.
Dick Gregory (1932 - )
Every increased possession loads us with new weariness John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
