17. It's the ACS syndrome
Attachment Causes Suffering
..to paraphrase Buddha.
The more things you have, the more
you things you have to protect, insure, wash, paint,
repair, mow, lock up and replace. Ultimately,
you loose it all. Our greatest attachment is, of course,
to our own ego self, our life.

I am so detached from the world of "things" already
that there is practically nothing left to worry about
(except my country).

Everything I own will fit in my 28 year old van.
Everything I need will fit on my back.
Everything I want is already everywhere I go.
