So do you think you really own anything?

in life •  7 years ago 

What do you "own"? What are your possessions? How rich are you? Maybe you think you own houses, cars, jet skis or a million & one other things.
Well here is something to think about. You don't really "own" anything. At best, you only have a 5 minute lease on anything. That lease is renewed by every heartbeat. Your 5 minute lease on every material thing will only be renewed by your next heartbeat, if it happens. If that next beat does not come, within 5 minutes, you will no longer own any THING.

@lexclarke - this has always been my belief, although it isn't an easy concept to get into the heads of people who live in this materialistic world that we have created in the name of 'progress'...

Many of the poorest people are those with a lot of money in the bank.

And none of us should take our lives for granted. Many left for work this morning and did not return home. They had no idea they'd end up in eternity the same day.
