Learning to let go and find true wealth :

In this materialistic world we live in, we often cling to things as if they were our own, but the reality is that everything we own is borrowed. Whether in the context of living in rented accommodation and leaving our possessions behind when we leave, or in the deeper sense of not taking anything with us when we leave this world, we need to remember that everything material is ephemeral. In this article, we reflect on the transient nature of possessions and how we can appreciate them without getting too hung up on them.

The experience of leaving material things behind :

When we live in rental homes, we often face the reality of leaving our belongings behind when it’s time to leave. These houses were our temporary home, but at the end of our stay, we must leave behind furniture, decorations and memories. We realize that everything we had there was only in our possession for a limited time. This experience is a reminder that material ownership is only temporary and that we cannot hold on to it too tightly.

The fleeting passage through this world : Just as when we leave a rented house, when we leave this world we will not take anything material with us. The reality is that we are just passing through on this planet, while Earth will continue to exist long after we are gone. All our physical possessions, however valuable, will be left behind. We realize that we are only temporary custodians of the things around us.

The importance of posting : By understanding that all material things are on loan, we can learn not to hold on too tightly to our possessions. Instead of getting too attached to them, we can take care of them and enjoy them in the present moment. We need to remember that even if we don’t take anything physical with us at the end, the experiences and memories associated with those possessions will remain with us. The key is to find a balance between enjoying and cherishing material things without becoming a slave to them.

Focus on the intangible : While material goods may bring us temporary comfort and pleasure, the real value lies in intangible goods. Relationships, experiences and personal growth are treasures that transcend physical possessions. It is these connections and experiences that truly give meaning to our lives and enrich us as human beings. We need to learn to value the intangible and invest more time and energy in cultivating our relationships and growing as individuals.

All the material things we have are ultimately borrowed. We will not take anything with us when we leave this world. Therefore, instead of clinging too tightly to our possessions, we must learn to enjoy and cherish them in the present moment, focusing on the intangible, on relationships, experiences and personal growth. Let us remember that while everything is borrowed, our imprint in this world can endure through the connections we make and the experiences we share with others.
