Reaching our destination, the lady together with her little girl, rushed out of the car. After gazing in the mirror, making sure I can go to the next destination. A few minutes away, I get a call through the station that the last customer left her umbrella.
Why do we lose certain objects?
We become distracted along with uncontrolled directing of senses in a different direction caused by the appearance of an unexpected and majorly important circumstance. The pressure we bear following life changes distracts our ability to focus towards other fields of human perception. It`s kind of like that when we lose our wallet after realizing we`re late for an important appointment. Sometimes, when we ignore the necessity of a thing by minimizing the advantages that it brings us while using it, we give it a secondary place in our list of priorities wrapping it in a haze away from lucid thinking. For example, someone loses their umbrella because it`s not raining outside. When we delegate others the responsibility of preserving an idea, once relocating the one responsible one we erase the idea`s formation. This happens when you tell your child to place a key in a spot, and in the morning when he goes to school it`s not there as you expected.
What could we lose?
From the point of accepting a leadership role, a person with a responsible view thinks how they would react in unforeseen times. Still, external factors that appear from the discontent of those they supervise or from not accomplishing plans during the specified timeframe may lead to a loss of control of the taken decisions. Also, regardless of our will, on the chart of disappearances may leave a mark memory loss, with sad repercussions upon extinguished aspirations. When the sap of the desire to build bridges towards unachieved destinies dries up, the tree of our existence loses the joy of fighting together with countless failures. In an age of outcomes, the column of milestone events that follow one another in modern history diminish the list of mobilizing aspects, such that the future of the human species loses the profit of their own condition.
What can we do to lose less?
Once with lowering the curtain on an essential loss is revealed a hidden gain. Don`t we cherish it more after that? The fan of opportunities opens only when the air of current preoccupations inhibits expectations. Achieving our own activities in a certain order, making a habit to put ideas in their place, we will gradually lose ourselves less and less. We need to be careful to the most meaningful loss. A man from our earliest history that knew very well human nature once asked: what good will it do a man to gain the whole world and to lose his life? We chase fame, gather experience, we climb the hills of glory, but let us not forget to learn the lessons of life. If we flunk this, then it would be too late.
When I got back, I smiled to the lady after she got her lost item.” This umbrella is my most precious memory from my husband. When he was alive we used to go for walks in the rain” – were the parting words spoken with a shaking voice. She stepped away with small steps squeezing her memory with her thin fingers given by the one who gave her the offspring next to her.
