lose
I seem to become more and more absent-minded these days. First it was the cashcard which I never found (it has been with me for a couple of years), and then my key (which was thankfully found) and now my EZ-Link card.
It is not what is lost that I’m so bummed about more rather the fact that I am losing things.
My greatest fear is that I lose something without even realising it’s lost. But a friend told me that if you don’t realise it, it’s probably worth losing anyway.
But it is like leaving the insignificant behind and who wants to be left behind?
Depends
‘Suppose a fire were to burn in front of you; would you be aware that the fire was burning in front of you?’
‘Gotama, if a fire were to burn in front of me, I should be aware that a fire was burning in front of me.’
‘But suppose, Vaccha, someone were to ask you, “On what does this fire that is burning in front of you depend?” What would you answer, Vaccha?’
‘Gotama, if someone were to ask me, “On what does this fire that is burning in front of you depend?” I would answer, Gotama, “It is on fuel of grass and wood that this fire that is burning in front of me depends.”’
A few nights ago my aunt came over to my place to help prepare for my brother’s wedding. She went through some old stuff in some old boxes and found some of my late grandfather’s things. There was silence as she reminisce, I think she was flying as a stewardess when he passed, and she was (and still is) crestfallen that she wasn’t by his side at the time of his passing.
I think I saw mom tearing.
