Your post is very true and timely. I guess an important part is to evaluate what are we doing today to change our dependence on "stuff" rather then wait until when it is taken away. When you give something up freely then it is easier then when it is taken away. When something is taken away they there is anger, resentment etc. which can paralize a person. What do we do or have on a daily basis that really isn't necessary? Perhaps fear should be the catalyst to change our ways. Fear is like stress- it is an internal not external thing and it is what you do with it that is important. It is one thing to not let fear take over and understand that if the worse happens then it was just stuff but it is even a better thing to take fear and change our ways.
