cthulhiaOur possessions should not possess us.
They can express who we are, and play the role of security blankies, but we should remember they are non-essential.
Examples given include non-cannibal Donner party survivor Margeret Reed, and one of the author's friends who survived an earthquake.
Sure, like I don't have fantasies of my house burning down so I can guiltlessly start fresh. It's just so hard to part with all the sentimental crap I use like a crutch for memory and sense of identity.
Know yourself for what you love, even if ideas, not for what you own.
Um... duh?
