muse_channel May 5.2 - “The things you own end up owning you.”
Now, see, I really don't think that's true. In fact, I believe that statement is a gross fallacy of logic and judgement. I also think that it's a fact that different people react to having possessions in a completely different fashion. People are different so making a blanket statement like that is erroneous and quite an unfair assumption of people. Even if some beastly Americans I've met fit that stereotype way too well.
Some of us historians and Egyptologists are also very careful about affixing ownership to anything we come across in our studies and our excavations. You never know what kind of curse or legend is attached to something that you find and you need to treat everything with a great deal of respect.
I'm of the belief that in these lifetimes that your soul lives, the only thing that you can really claim to own sometimes is yourself. Maybe in some places, that's not always the case -- being that you own yourself as I know there are some places that have slaves and even through history there was rampant slavery -- but sometimes, yourself and your soul is all you can claim to own.
My soul is all mine, but I gave my heart to Rick.
