If you can’t throw away what you have, you don’t own it properly. If you cannot leave the place you are staying, you are not entirely settled. Possession and non-possession share the same root, and wandering and settlement share the same root. There is no eternal state; we only enjoy a temporary state. It is often misunderstood that a state of possession for a moment is possession, and that a momentary absence is mistaken for wandering. The world changes, and you change too. Obsession and stubbornness will only hinder your change. If you know how to give up and leave at any time, the value of what you currently have and the state you are in will change significantly. Stability comes from sharing instability. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The frequent sensation of missing someone, coupled with the increasing number of missing persons, is evidence that we are aging. People tend not to miss those linked to bad memories. Yearning is a happy emotion. When the feeling of yearning is intense, the regret for the person also grows larger. When happy memories and regrets intertwine, it can result in heartache. Perhaps happiness and unhappiness ultimately become indistinguishable. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
