Yes I think we would all be so much happier if we let go, but i am afraid that it's the one thing most people cannot do. Wow Lucy, that is so deep.

In the final analysis, we possess nothing for all our current/earthly sense of possession is relative, mediated by the currencies of 'money' and what we mistakenly call 'love'. From the widescreen tv to our children to the land upon which we have built or bought our home, we claim possession/ownership. But we don't possess any of it, not really, not ever, because, in truth, in ultimate reality, there is no 'me', no 'you', no 'separated' entities. There is just the one in many forms. Imagine the finger saying to the nose, I'm going to acquire you some day! What we do have is responsibility, 'the ability to respond' to/for all, ourselves included.
