- Ahhh, yes. This is some kind of habit, or something, not to get attached to anything, because at any moment it can be taken away, devalued, thrown away, forced to be remade. You can’t imagine such an unpleasant feeling, as if you have nothing. But I really want something to happen. Yours. Which no one can encroach on. Reinforced…
