Environment upgrade part 2: A cautious self

Part of the series Environment upgrade.

The change wasn’t some foster child of a sudden revelation, but rather, a habit adapted as a way to retain values of objects. I am talking about my new condo. I feel more considerate as a whole. Thinking through the consequences of my actions instead of jumping into the moment. “Will it cause any damage?” became permanently embedded in my awareness.

I realized that it is the situation which puts me in this state and not my own evolution as a humble human seeking enlightenment. This is not something I can achieve by myself because I never had anything precious enough that I need to protect. The lifestyle to this point has been geared towards a worry free existence. I never purchase anything that can’t be replaced instantly to maximize the efficiency of my pursuits. I didn’t care when I practiced dancing on the wooden floor at the rental apartments nor did I care when the corck pot might be too heavy for the cupboards. They are all replaceable.

Even though I am impatient at having to put life on hold for the move, I am, at the same time, grateful of the unforseen learning experiences and changes. I look forward to the next lesson.
