I have very little stuff here. Clothes, books for school, computer, my bass and guitar. I gave away just about everything, but I have a few boxes of stuff stored at my mom's. The funny thing is, I don't remember what most of it is, and I don't seem to miss it. I definately don't miss the stuff I gave away.
But I still covet things, a new computer, new clothes, and new bike. I remember from a speech the Dali Lama gave, he said that our suffering is caused by the misguided assumptions of the results of our actions. If I get new stuff, I will be happier.
Well, I have little stuff, and I am the happiest I have ever been. Even though I want stuff, at the same time I also know that my life is no happier when I get it. The small amount of things I have here in Japan seem cumbersome. Especially as I contemplate bringing it all back home.
What matters now is sucking up every minute that I am here. 45 days left.
