If you can’t throw away what you have, you don’t own it properly. If you cannot leave the place you are staying, you are not entirely settled. Possession and non-possession share the same root, and wandering and settlement share the same root. There is no eternal state; we only enjoy a temporary state. It is often misunderstood that a state of possession for a moment is possession, and that a momentary absence is mistaken for wandering. The world changes, and you change too. Obsession and stubbornness will only hinder your change. If you know how to give up and leave at any time, the value of what you currently have and the state you are in will change significantly. Stability comes from sharing instability. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
When individuals perform tasks that money typically does, they become enslaved to money. Even when these means come to an end, they remain bound to money. Therefore, it is not the abundance or lack of money that enslaves humans, but rather ignorance and greed—qualities that fail to recognize the purpose and utility of money—that lead to this enslavement. Ultimately, it is a philosophical issue. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
