I was thinking about the obsessive need in me to give things up.When I was reading Dr. Phillip C McGraw's book 'Life Strategies',using his methods I was analyzing myself.
I asked the following questions.
1) Why must I feel like giving things up?
2) what pleasure does it give me?
3) If I do recognize the pleasure aspect why do I do it?
Analyzing myself I get the following answers.
1) I want to give up things as I feel cluttered all around with unnecessary possessions.The people who are in control of my life wants to have these possessions and I react to that control by wanting to give up.
2)Yes, there is pleasure in giving up.I feel for some time divine,benevolent. I have this need to prove benevolence time and again.
3)I do it again and again just to prove that I can be in control too of myself.Self worth?I have to think about it.
I will continue with this topic.
