Changing My Opinion

When was the last time I changed my opinion? I'm in the process of changing my opinion now. I've always hated moving, because I thought it was disrupting and, in every move I've made, I had to leave something--sometime several somethings--that I was attached to. However, I realize, now, that moving is just a metaphor for death. When the body dies, the soul ascends into the spiritual world. The soul has to leave the body, which it has become attached to, behind. Each move I have made, has forced me to downsize. They have forced me to let go of things that I was attached to, but didn't need. Each move has been a blessing in disguise.
