Give up bragging. You don’t have anything to lose or possess.
Boasting is a common belief that we own valuable assets, but the truth is that we own nothing and lose nothing. We only own our possessions, such as land, homes, cars, and children, and our money for the remaining years on earth. Our bodies, homes, properties, money, and relationships are only available to us to lessen the restrictions on our journey on earth. Even our life is on loan and will undoubtedly be paid back. It is important to remember that we never truly own anything, and we should not be afraid of losing anything. By focusing on our own possessions and not worrying about losing anything, we can maintain composure and values in the face of unforeseen circumstances.
You don’t own anything, and you have nothing to lose. When you buy a house or a plot of land, you are essentially paying rent for the time you have left on earth. None of them are yours.
If you buy a car, you have only paid for transportation for as long as the automobile will run or as long as you are alive. You don’t possess it.
When you get married, your spouse becomes your exclusive friend until death or unforeseen circumstances force you apart. Nobody else owns anyone else’s person.
Having children merely ensures that life continues till death; you do not genuinely possess them. The government still has a say in how you raise your children in the majority of the developed nations.
Only if you have money to spend on whatever you like do you have a mass value for the remaining number of years you have on earth. The currency notes belong to the central bank.
If you both work and retire, your pension is only permanently guaranteed. After you pass away, it stops.
Even if you eat and feel satisfied, you must defecate the food back into the ground since it belongs to someone else. The body itself, which you held in such high regard, is not your own. Undoubtedly, the earth will reclaim its fragments after the loan is repaid.
Even our beloved lives are a loan that must certainly be repaid.
So let us not be afraid of losing anything, because we have nothing to fear in this life and nothing to own.
Undoubtedly, two things will happen. Either we lose everything we have or everything we think we have, whatever comes first.
All that we possess will one day be taken away.
We boast about our bodies, our houses, our land, our cash, our partners, our children, our parents, and everything else, but that’s where it ends.
Boasting. You’ll quickly understand that none of those things are genuinely ours if you give them some serious thought.
They are only accessible to us since doing without them would severely hamper our experience on earth. So, whenever you feel as though you have lost something, try to maintain your composure, temper, or moral principles. since you’ve never had something to genuinely own.
“LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; That I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; And mine age is as nothing before thee: Verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.”
Psalm 39:4-5 KJV.
