What some people considered to be essential luggage, others considered to be dispensable baggage. When we are traveling, we often pack a lot of things and others may tend to say, ‘You don’t really need this’ and we may think, ‘No, I absolutely need it’ What differences of opinion apply to our external baggage can also apply to the internal baggage that we carry in our minds. Sometimes there are certain memories of past words that we carry inside our head and replay, considering that this is what I need to remember to get back at the other person. But wise people may tell us this is dispensable baggage, that we need to just close that chapter and move on in our life without hurting ourselves by holding on to those hurtful memories.
