A Chinese Proverb states something like this. “A wise traveler must know when to leave his luggage behind.” The interpretation is loose. You need to know when to leave the physical things you acquire behind. This is for your own welfare.

I’ve done it. Right now I am on my third restart. As you know, I moved to the Philippines. I left years worth of acquired detritus when I made this hop. Do I miss it? A few things. Yet, so few it doesn’t matter. As long as you have you, and you have your health, and wits, you can always get more stuff.
