Just consider...Suppose we came to possess a very expensive object. The
minute that thing comes into our possession our mind changes...'Now, where can
I keep it? If I leave it there somebody might steal it'...We worry ourselves
into a state, trying to find a place to keep it. And when did the mind change?
It changed the minute we obtained that object -- suffering arose right then.
No matter where we leave that object we can't relax, so we're left with trouble.
Whether sitting, walking, or lying down, we are lost in worry.
