We are advised to travel light when we undertake a journey.Why can't we travel light in our lives too to make it beautiful and enjoyable?

If we travel light the journey is enjoyable. In the journey of life i want to travel with no burden on my body or mind. Burden on body is due to sickness and obesity. Burden on mind is due to possesions and relationships.
"With no burden on body and mind
I want to travel and unwind"

        Feb 20 2013: Well, adesh, that seems like a different idea than you put in your conversation starter at the top, perhaps you should edit it.

        I would say I have a light attachment to relationships and objects, probably stronger to relationships. I would feel abnormal if I had no attachment, as I worked to get them; and abnormal if I had too much attachment, as that would be too clinging. So a light attachment works for me.
