Thanks this reminder of my past experiences which have educated me to how unimportant material stuff is! I have had the job of after death of loved ones, clearing out there stuff, which they wouldn't let go of while on this earth, none of it gave them the joy of peace and love. Also there younger generation didn't want any of it, which they regarded as family treasures. I should say the odd thing of value was argued over so perhaps some stuff being kept was right, yet! In saying that it brought discord between the close family. So not really is stuff part of our life on this beautiful planet. The maker of this earth gave us it all, the beauty, food, materials to live, a mind to be educated, yes the rest is up to us as individuals just to buy or obtain the material things to enhance our well being and our families. What a fine balance that is. perhaps if we could all keep to that, then to the third world we could pass on a share of what we have accumulated. Blessed then we would all be.
