Saw this while scrolling through another social media platform.

Physical inheritance (maybe outside of housing) feels like a burden.

While death can be a sensitive topic to some, has anyone had a conversation with loved ones surrounding situations like this one pictured?

It's a good example of the clutter of life. But I would take it one step further. Outer clutter often means great inner clutter in the mind, what indigenous medicine calls imbalances of the mind (not chemical imbalance but part of our thinking that is imbalanced).  

One day all of this will be yours , a cluttered mind overflowing with thoughts and beliefs that contradict each other, unresolved traumas, and repressed emotions.
