Imagine
You work hard to improve yourself everyday, constantly landing dates, making money, hitting the gym. Absolutely crushing it.
Eventually, a plate of yours eventually starts to bring money, or resources, into the equation.
“How do we split the bills on this? What must be done here? What must be done there?”
She bugs you ever so slowly with these slowly daunting questions.
Why is she the one asking you about this? If you’re who you say you are, shouldn’t she be the one paying for the bills, not you?
Shouldn’t be it her pampering you, giving you the resources that you need, coddling your every desire and want?
You’re the focal point here, not her.
Let’s say you finally meet a woman with these resources.
She’s investing in you, with all her emotions, and more importantly, her physical resources.
Let’s say you had a collection as a kid that you wished to expand upon as you grew up.
Now that she’s providing these resources for you, you can buy LITERALLY everything you want.
I myself imagine every model of the Lamborghini possible, from every year, in every possible color.
Next I imagine expanding my collection not just in the Lamborghinis, but in other cars as well.
Next, not just cars, but other physical things, so on, so forth.
At this point, I own literally everything this world is to offer. Every single atom and every universal component that exists in this universe belongs to me.
Since it has been given to me, I can now do whatever I wish with everything.
I want to give her a flower. Why not?

Can’t relate.
Things - like cars aren’t a source of joy. They’re a source of misery.
Owning one just to look at it defeats the purpose. Then when you take one out - from the sounds of this - you’d be terrified to open the throttle because you may catch a stone on the highway and get a dent or scratch. Then you’d be constantly dwelling on that. Never taking one out again or if you do - you’d be ultra cautious, driving slow like a bitch as to not catch a ding or dent.
Live life in the fast lane. Have focus in your desire and don’t compromise or overindulge. Don’t live in fear.
The things you own end up owning you.
Freedom isn’t having every lambo ever made. It’s having one you beat the shit out of without care.
Keeping it clean is like not fucking your plate/gf/so so you keep it tight for the next guy.

I guess I failed at trying to come up with something here. I apologize.
Edit: I’ll give it a crack.
You missed the point of my post. You literally focused on your fear of having something that has monetary value. You own the Lamborghini, and you literally freak out and say that it would suck to own it, even if it was in your own imagination?
Holy shit dude.

I may have missed the point. But using ownership and attaining things as a metric was lost on me.
I’ve had nice things. Very nice things.
I gave them all up. Because like I said. The things you own end up owning you. You’re never free with the bondage of trivial items in your life.
Freedom comes when you’re free of bondage. Ask yourself - could you leave where you’re at right now for 3-6 months and travel South America, as you see fit - not within a beat small budget? Or are you tied down with car payments and rent or a mortgage...
Day to day grind isn’t life. It’s slavery.

We have different ways of looking at things, brother. If you think that the things you own are an extension of yourself, then you will suffer when it is gone. If you view them as they are, nothing more, then it doesn’t matter if you have it or not. It’s simply a title of ownership- it shouldn’t manifest in your mind attachment to the thing itself.

Yeah. Attachment. That’s the key.
Fear of loss. Can’t have it. Can’t have fear in any capacity.
When you’ve got no fear of loss - we’ve come full circle to TRP doctrine. Treat plates like you don’t care if they leave. Attachment breeds blue pill tendencies.
