Separation.

How hard we strive to achieve all the amazing things in life and what happens when we get them?

As I proceed down the corridor of life I realise that everything I have ever desired I either have had, or have still got. 

And there's so much more that I desire. 

But I also realise through my own personal experience, and the observation of others journey through life that every thing we desire, has within it; an inherent opposite, in fact, this World is a duality. 

Day / night, yes / no, ying / yang, hot / cold, good / bad, etc, etc.  

Every answer, has contained within it; it's own problems, of which we can solve by patiently understanding duality. 

And every problem, has contained within it, it's own answer.  An analogy may be, the seed. The 'things' of life require constant nurture, and like a seed, for it to open to the light of day. 

We don't attract that which is complete, rather, we are nurturing beings. We add our energy to that, which IS, then we give it away by sharing with others. We share all of that which we are. We feel love, and being loved, when we give our love away. 

Perhaps what goes wrong for many of us in the process of accumulation is that we claim that which we have acquired, and call it-  ours!  Rather than knowing it is in our nurturing custody to grow and increase for the purpose of giving it away. 

An example is the obvious largest two investments the average family make; the home and the car. Solely for the purpose of housing and transporting family and friends, to keep everything together. 

The many things we desire are already contained within us; like a tiny seed is contained within the ground. But the ground can be dry and barren and the seed, although retaining its concealed life, will not come forward to reveal it's hidden splendor, nor will it share it's anticipated bounty of fruit, until all the elements required are released for its evolution through the stages of 'Life'. 

Desire, vision, imagination, enthusiasm, courage, patience, nurturing, generosity, knowledge, experience, understanding, are all words that come to mind that describe those people and families that I personally have witnessed this attribute of awareness to natural accumulation.
