Own Nothing.

Let us look at the life cycle of a posession. A posession is purchaced (enotional high). The posession must be protected and maintained and worried about (emotional cost). The item breaks or is stolen (further emotional cost). This is releived by further purchaces.
Buddists call this the 'cycle of suffering' and I agree.

The more you own, the more you are owned.

    ,,always be detached from the fruit of your labor"
    always be ready to lost all and to be able to start again
    the ability to identify the minim level of confort available in the surrounding area and to stick with that
    when everything falls , everyone around you will fall down where you are or even below, because they are blind
