Very often when I want to do something, I feel something is burdening in life. Like when going to go "Wow it's cloudy, even though it's just washing the motorbike. Later when the motorbike comes out it will be dirty then I have to wash again ". Finally decided to stay home. Or when I want to buy something then the question is "Where do you want to put it? the closet is full ".

It could also be when you walk in the mall then see very good clothes. I want to buy the clothes but think again, the wardrobe is full. There are also my friends who like animals so much that their homes are full of pets. If he wants to go and stay, he feels confused when he feeds his pets.

Many things we want to do but cannot do it because they are blocked by something that is actually not an obstacle. It seems that life does not have freedom because there are so many obstacles that cause us to not be free. In many books that I read, especially spiritual books and self-development books, said that Attached is one of the reasons that humans cannot feel freedom.

When I play to my mentor's house, his house is quite large in an area that is quite elite. I see the furniture in the house is not so much, tends to be simple according to the size of my mentor. Once I visited and my mentor hasn't returned to his house. It turned out that the key to his house was deposited with a security guard in his complex because my mentor did not have many valuable items in his house. Maybe it could be that he never felt disturbed when he left his house. It seems like my mentor has a sense of freedom and is not attached to his house.

If there were no household assistants when Eid, I was confused about how to clean the house. If any person comes in later, how come, while my mentor when Lebaran there is no household assistant. It feels very easy, just lock the house and then leave. After reading a number of books that happened to discuss a lot about attachment. I began to learn to throw things that I had stored for years but never seen or used. This means that the object is not used, there are indeed some items that are memories and I still keep them. After disposing of stored items and never being seen again, it feels like the room where the items are stored is spacious and I feel comfortable too.

The lesson I got
Attachment to an object or someone makes a bondage in our lives. We cannot move freely to pursue what we want because of the limitations we make ourselves. I still have to continue learning so that the attachment to something becomes lost so that I can live freely without any bond with something or other people.
