I have never thought about this topic before. This is what will become of my clothes, my things, my apartment, when is the time to leave this world? Do not think that I am 70 years old, and I am not even 40. But why did such strange thoughts begin to visit me? I don't have any fatal diseases either... Now I'll tell you what is the reason for my strange thoughts!
Many people find that their personal belongings, photographs and life in general are very important to their loved ones. But, is it really so? No, it's not like that at all! More than half of a person's belongings after his death are simply thrown away, something is distributed to those in need or friends as a keepsake. Yes, sometimes what a person thought was very valuable and most important is thrown into the trash. Why do we need old grandmother's books, why do we need grandfather's things, why do we need things of the deceased at all, he needed them, but why do we need them?
And I thought about this quite recently. I was just in a neighboring city on a business trip. The hotel rooms were busy and it was expensive to stay there. Therefore, I decided to browse the rented apartments on the Internet. I immediately found a small odnushka, not far from work, phoned the hostess, arranged the price, and I went to enter.
The landlady, a woman of about fifty, immediately told me that this apartment was her deceased mother. The old woman died not so long ago, the woman has not yet entered the inheritance, so she decided to rent the apartment for now. The grandmother's daughter herself lived in the neighboring area, her mother often did not visit, and after her death she simply buried her and decided to rent the apartment. Of course, I understand everything, but the fact is that absolutely all of my grandmother's things remained in their place. And I got the feeling that the landlady just went out to the store for bread and was about to come.
In every corner of the apartment there were things of the old woman, in every one! Here's a big TV, probably, grandma saved up for it for a long time, because you can hardly buy one for one pension. But the wardrobe is an old shabby, it is definitely many years old. And on its shelves proudly lined porcelain plates and crystal glasses. I think Granny spent a lot on such dishes at one time, and stood long long lines for her. And now everything that was important for the old woman became absolutely unnecessary for her relatives.
The apartment had a fairly large library. It is now that people have a different attitude to books, but before they were specially bought, read, and collected. And what kind of books Granny had! I wonder what the children of the deceased will do with them now. Most likely they will simply be thrown out, well, maybe they will give something to the library or hand it over as waste paper. And for years my grandmother collected it for what it is not clear now!
Now everything that is in this apartment is of no value at all for the grandmother's relatives. Only an apartment matters for them, because it can be rented out, and then sold ...
I didn't dare to rent this apartment, it was somehow unpleasant for me to be there. I found myself another. But you know, because of that apartment I got my thoughts. Am I living right? Do I need to save money for something if it is not particularly important? Maybe you need to live and enjoy life, because it will end someday? Maybe instead of buying something, saving for something, take it and go on a trip?
But most people live exactly like that grandmother. They work day and night, save up for something, take loans to buy what they want. And after their death, it all ends up in the trash. And what was important to them becomes useless rubbish.
Now I have rethought my life, and I live in a completely different way. And you know, now I like my life much more!
