@DaveMarx

Your message has no text, only the heading—so I am not sure what is your understanding of such an idea.

But to me it sounds like something kind of Buddhist:

- you don't "own" your body because it is on loan from the world,

- you don't really "own" any material things, but you may use it on your way,

- you cannot "own" a person, even if they are your children, spouse, friends or parents; some people come and go—but what you _can_ do is to enjoy and appreciate their presence,

- you cannot even "own" time because every time you put a period mark at the end of the sentence, the moment is already gone to past; or maybe "here and now", the past and the future are not separate things, but coexist?

It looks like you are looking for ways to _have_ more, but to _be_ more?

*Oops, sorry for a typo: obviously, I meant NOT to have more, but to _be_ more.

Very insightful. It's a quote from starwars. But the films creator probably studied alot of philosophy.
