Ownership
Ownership
=========
Wealth does not stay with
one person to own for ever,
It always passes through many hands
Before it gets totally disappeared.
The house you laboured to build
or possess will not be yours forever,
Some one will occupy it after you,
They may not even know you.
What you treasured and collected
will be of no value for others,
It might get sold or given out or
get thrown in the garbage box.
Do you think you can own your life?
Any idea about your last breath?
How can you own anything,
when you can't own your own life.
Have a detached attitude in life,
Then you can be free of ownership,
Avoid craving for worldly possessions,
Never shackled by superfluous things.
