Supreme Non attachment


In all lives, the human being is the only being who can do this. No other animal can do this as easily as a human can do. Yes. Nonattachment of objects. But in actuality, the human being is the only being that accumulates not only sufficient for him but struggles to accumulate so that his next seven generations should not face any problem. He never understands that generations get what they deserve.
And now a day, property, money, general objects of day to day use even pets have become desirable things. If we have them, we cannot sleep in the fear of if somebody steals them from us. And if we do not have them, we cannot sleep in the worry of not having anything.  
A man has many desires which keep increasing with time. These desires increase attachments.
There was a boy who had nothing but just a small sleeping bag with him. He used to sleep on the road. As he had no property he was sleeping quite well in the night on the footpath. He was keeping his sleeping bag in one corner of his workstation. He was a waiter in one restaurant. As he used to be busy, there was a chance of losing his bag. So he thought of taking one small room on rent for stay. As he took one room, he was required to pay all rent, electricity bill, water bill, etc by himself. So he started working overtime. But still, he was not able to satisfy his financial needs. So he decided to keep a partner. The partner came in. As now they were two, they thought to save money by making food at home for themselves. Now they bought the grocery for the food preparation and some necessary things as well in partnership. But as their income increased due to partnership, they decided to appoint a maid for household work. The maid started spending more money on food. So they again started working hard and earning more money. Now they decided to marry, so now they will require separate homes. So they rented small homes and got married. As his wife was working, they kept a maid. They added a lot of home appliances as well. After some days, children got added to the family. Now, both his wife and he were required to work hard to earn more money for children and their future. As there was more number of people, earning was required more.
When he was on road having nothing other than just a sleeping bag, he was able to sleep at night with happiness. But as he started possessing objects, his desire kept on increasing. Desire is one thing that never ends. If you complete one, another generates. So it is always better to be happy with what you have. Rather you should try to reduce dependency on objects. When you leave everything, you will be the happiest person as there would be nothing to lose. Keep minimum rather than optimum things in your life. Then try to reduce the minimum level below till it reaches zero.
Zero is an ideal goal in everything.

Mystery of a shoe bomb

     Lily unlocked the back door of the thrift store using a key that didn't belong to her. She entered the store with silent footsteps. It was late at night, and the only people in the store were security guards stationed outside. Lily had entered the store from the backyard as both security guards were on the front side dealing with a psycho client who was yelling at the business for poor product quality. She dashed towards the processing portion of the business, where donated items are accepted, verified, and refurbished. There were several cameras, wires, and other items that were kept discretely. She instantly began looking in the midst of the mayhem. She found the camera after some searching. There was some data on the camera chip that may assist Lily save her boyfriend. While the data was being collected, Lily began visualising the beginning of this narrative. Lily had just received her first pay check as a schoolteacher. She had set up a date with her boyfriend, Joh

The boss and The embarrassment

 For my company's party, my boss and I wanted to go to a party hall. We started from the company itself, in his car. Everyone else left first. We were late because we had some work to do. Those were the days when I was extremely fortunate to work for the ideal company, ideal boss, and ideal location. Everything felt like a dream. My boss used to be very nice to us. He knew the name of the party hall but not the exact location. I asked him if he knew the address. But he was confident that we would figure out the location once we reached there. What can a subordinate do? I nodded my head.  We arrived at the location. There were no lights in the vicinity. He was certain that the Party hall was nearby, but we couldn't pinpoint the exact location. We continued our search on the road for some time. But we couldn't figure out where it was. So I suggested calling HR to confirm the location. "Don't worry, gentleman," he said. "We'll find out." M

"A thief is a thief, whether he steals a cucumber or a diamond .”

Theft is a big profession in the world. From small level servants to big level people, can work under this profession. They earn a lot of tax-free money. I met lots of thieves in a different stages of my life. To take any object without the knowledge of the owner of the object is a theft. Every thief has his own reasons to do a theft.   I  was a child when I met a thief who used to take away children. That day, I was with my Aunt. We went to the dentist for some dental work. After that, we went to a medical shop. As I remember, I was just standing outside of the shop. My aunt was in the shop. A woman having one small child in hand came to me. She said “Come, I will give you chocolate” and she held my hand and started pulling me with her. I was so dumb that I had started walking with her silently. My aunt came back from the shop and to her surprise, I was not there on road. When she saw both sides of the road, she noticed that I was going with a lady with a child in
