I thought my friend's LJ post was so inspiring:
"I realized that I have nothing. What I have, I should give away. Give it away. Rid yourself of possession. What you have is for others to have as well. All your loving - don't keep it to yourself. Give it freely to others; love your enemies and your neighbors. Love everyone. All your talent and potential - use it to please people and bring happiness into the lives of others. You as an individual are nothing. Perhaps the reason why I was so troubled before was because I didn't give enough. Once I have nothing to lose - once I have given everything up I will be able to live. Once I am no longer afraid of losing things because I have nothing to lose or once I am no longer afraid of death because I am nothing is when I will truly be able to live. To live without being confined by possession. To live without the fear of losing things that "belong to you". I'm not sure if it makes sense at all.. but it makes sense to me. "
