about the Rose to Studio Open House

More thoughts about the Rose to Studio Open House and occasions like this. I was brought up from childhood to young adulthood to concentrate first and foremost on the pride and the importance of owning property and a home. The idea of property, I now know, includes social position, a room, a family, furniture, and a home. In other words, the very essence of honor and propriety centers around the house, a home and a family. If one did not have a rich or important life, one had one’s stuff to surround themselves with.

It seems for all my adult life I have been deprived of material possessions in the most brutal and horrible manner, time and time again. This they like very much indeed. Breaking drugs, being forced to live outside in the freezing cold, social ostracizing, and the jail system are buffer zones protecting society from undesirable or embarrassing elements. And they have been have used as a quiet zone, a great place for people, who cannot get the things I could at the time, to quietly amass things without having to deal with the people that I got them from. For example, people will give important donations to orphans or adults in great distress that they would not give to a business person, for example.

It is in these undesirable places that people had buyers. Once I got articles like furniture, they could turn a tidy profit with the merchandise. In other words, clearly to myself I have been used as a fence too much for me to tolerate.

As for myself I have never gotten any compensation for a lifetime of amassing furniture clothes electronics and the like. As a matter of fact, it is the contrary. I am in the extreme position of living in shelter for the poor. The habit of divesting me of everything happens naturally here since my living space is very tiny. And every time my possessions are given away due to lack of space, the money that I have put into them is also completely gone. The situation gets embarrassing when it is taken into account that the order that runs this shelter refuses to have anything to do with material possessions. So the situation continues and I am left penniless and uncompensated.

Now it is time for me to find a solution. Now it is time for me not to be victimized in such a brutal manner. Hence I start a journey to reclaim my possessions, as well as the knowledge that it takes to amass possessions.
