back to my phone (or lack thereof) I never considered myself so obsessed with my phone and when I lost it I was devastated (literally!) I think i was more relieved to hear that it was stolen than if it had just been lost. my two cents is that its hergel, like ames car, if you use something often, you develop a superficial connection to it. material possesions are a part of you, and maybe you (not you per say) devote time to it, but thats the way the world is supposed to be. we are not supposed to be completely ruchniyus. so you develop an attachment to the material possessions you have now, not what you had. 🙂
some food for thought: if it meant so much to you, then you would be reluctant to give it up, if you dont remember it, or miss it, then it means on the general scale, it didnt mean too much to you which IMO,(well probably everybodys) is a good thing. 🙂
