I give things to people because the concept of attachment is not working well with me. Every book I finish, I pass it on to others. My favourite books do not always go to my favourite people. It’s just random. Nothing meaningful behind this giveaway habit.

I don’t do this because I’m generous, not like him. He is a real giver. He loves seeing people being happy with the gift he’s given. Even though he does it to satisfy himself, it still comes from the goodness in him.

I give things to people to kill attachment. Not just the attachment between me and my belongings, but to stop forming any attachment between me and anyone. It’s not me and him, or me and the book I gave him. It’s just me and others.

It makes my life easier when the world wants me to leave.
