Think of something you have given away, to a friend or to charity. Did you feel emotionally attached to the item?  Did you find it hard to part with? Why or why not?  Have you ever given something away that you loved and wanted the person who received it to get as much pleasure from it as you did?  How did that attitude change the experience? Were you able to re-live some of your good feelings about owning the item at one time? Did you experience gratitude for being able to give the same joy to someone else?
