The living room is my favorite area. It has a "Shangri-la" feel to it with antique Buddhas everywhere, oversized plush furniture, teak wood and very expensive tables from various parts of Asia.
I have been away for 3 weeks and just got word that due to pipes in the ceiling bursting, my entire ceiling collapsed and just about everything in the room is totally ruined from water damage.
While insurance will probably pay for it, there are some things you just can't put a price on. It's not like I can run out to Pier One to replace these items.

Let this be a lesson to you.
You should not form attachments to objects.
They are just a piece of stone/metal. You can't take it with you into afterlife.
Do something productive instead of collecting meaningless shit.
