They are just things, but when they are damaged, somehow I feel as though I am damaged a little, too.
A couple of days ago, when I was backing out of a parking space, I turned too quickly and backed into another parked car. I caused about $2000 damage to my car and probably at least that much to his. It makes me feel very stupid to have done this. I was careless. I suppose it happened, in part, because I was very tired, but really, it was just basically stupid.
The weirdest thing about it, though, is that I feel that, even though it was just my car that was damaged and I am completely fine, I still feel damaged myself. I feel almost as though the hurt of my car is a physical hurt for me, too. I am damaged a bit, too - mentally, but almost even bodily.
I am too close to my possessions.
