George Carlin, (a brilliant American stand-up comic) does a very funny piece about 'stuff.' He talks about how we are all trying to find a place for our stuff. Whether we are at home, looking for a bigger home (due to too much stuff), going away for a holiday or simply staying in somebody else's home. He mentions how our stuff is important to us, whereas other people's stuff is just crap! Ironically, he manages to take a trivial subject and from a different perspective, highlight our blatent attachment to material things.
Stuff
We move on.
All that's left is our physical imprint on the world.
Our stuff, pointless things.
Memories and attachments that live on only in our mind.
Whilst stuff disintegrates over time.
Soon everyone is forgotten.
And we were never here in the first place.
