I've lost it all....

[kakoi_sugoi_yama]

Kakoi, I can really feel your pain. Just thinking that something like that might happen to my collection makes me feel depressed. And it's not just a matter of money, even when things are replaceable, the memories and feelings attached to those specific things are important too. I understand your point of view Animeshop, the same thoughts have crossed my mind several times yet even if I'm very attached to my things I'm not at all a greedy person, I don't desire to be absurdly rich and if I was I know I'd give a lot of that money to charity and research. I've learned to take pleasure in the little things and one of the little things that gives me a great deal of pleasure is reading and all the emotions that come to me while reading remain attached to the books and manga I have and that's what makes them unique to me. I don't feel guilty about this sort of materialism, I'm not hurting anyone by being this way and it contributes to my happiness. When the time comes for me to die I'll just die, the things I own don't even fit into that equation.

Reading this makes me want to cry all over again.


You've really summed up exactly how I feel about the whole situation. The whole thing makes me feel ill.
