Wow, I've spent the past week moving to a new house and cursing every single object I own - and you've summed it up brilliantly here! Really, why do we attach such emotional importance to objects? I've spent a lot of time in the last few days pondering what kind of freedom I might be missing out on, as I lug my ash-covered possessions down one driveway and up another. Thank you for this insightful essay :)
