The most important things in life
are not things. Yes, this is true. Things are but perishable thus they end up
in the trash and forgotten. As much as we would like to stock up and pile on
material things, with wear and tear, they would eventually rot and be parted
away with.
To part away from something
implies a literal act of turning back and walking away. It so speaks of the
ability of the self to let go and move on. Although, like breaking up and being
left behind, it is but one tough act to overcome.
