The Word B

i read a quote on a sign on the way home from work today. it said: "he who owns nothing and no one, walks through life and owns all things." it made we want to give up material possesions and sort of made me feel better (as i was slightly in the dumps). in my life, i try not to put so much emphasis on "things." i know they are just things, and they really have no bearing or meaning on my life, truly. i can let them have an affect on me, but that is my doing, not the thing. i put meaning where meaning does not exist. that is what makes me human, because that is what humans do- assign meaning to things. no matter how many things i may fool myself into believing i own, they will not matter one bit in the end. when i die, i will die alone, leaving my things behind. preferably, i would like to die naked. the same way i came into the world. you know without the armani watch.
