None Owns Anything In This world....

YOU OWN NOTHING, YOU LOSE NOTHING..
If you buy land or buy a house, you have only paid rent for the remaining years you have on Earth. None of them belong to you.
If you buy a car, you have only paid for your transport for the period the car will last or for the period you will last. It doesn't belong to you..
If you marry a spouse, you have only got company until circumstances or death do you part. No one owns the other bambi, painful as it sounds...
If you have children, you have only fulfilled the demand of continuity of life until death comes. You don't own them. That's why the State still dictates how you bring them up.
If you have money, you have only amassed value to purchase what you want, for your remaining number of years on Earth. The notes belong to the Central Bank.. which also doesn't own them but the world bank.. (IMF) which also doesn't own them but bodies like Rothschild etc.. which also doesn't own them but....
If you work and retire, your pension is only for life. After your life, it stops.
Even if you eat and get filled, the food in your belly isn't yours. You must defecate it back to Earth.. sorry, I had to borrow a leaf from the Bakiga to call a spade a spade...
The body itself which you cherish so highly, doesn't belong to you. The Earth will certainly reclaim its bits, when the loan is due. (From sand we came and we shall return... "Nfuufu mu nfuufu.... vvu mu vvu, taka mu taka...")
Even the life we live is borrowed, and surely will be returned.
So let us not be afraid of losing anything in this life, because we do not own anything here. Two things will surely happen; we will either be taken away from everything we think we own or everything we think we own will be taken away from us someday. It is that day that none of us know. And it is soon and very soon...
We boast about our body, our houses, our lands, our money, our wives, our husbands, our children, our parents, our everything. But that's where it ends. Boasting!
I used to think that the great Queen of Bungeleza owned a lot. But when she died, I got the shock of my life! All the royal symbols of power and pomp were removed before lowering her body seven foot below ground level.. She was left as "a body" to get to the grave! Everything remained on earth because it all belonged to earth and not to her Majesty! Same happened to the wealthy leader of Dubai and his predecessors.. We have never really owned anything and we loose nothing either. Let's stop our illusions.
Ruminate intensely and it won't be difficult to find out that, we do not own any of those things. We are only availed of them to mitigate the necessary constraints of our sojourn here.
So never lose your head or your cool or your temper or your values or your vibrancy, whenever you think you have lost something because nothing was ever really yours. Not even those things you cherish so be humble and always live to leave a good legacy behind as this is the only thing that you will be remembered of. A word is enough for the wise.
Are you sad for owning less or nothing or for loosing something or someone?? Relax, nothing or no one belonged to you forever and ever.. You literally own nothing.. Everything is just lent to you for just a while.. and when the loan tenure is done, there is no margic under the sun, that you can do to rewind the clock... NEVER!! There is a saying in our Luganda language that "nanyini kakomo bwakakusaba, ateekawo buteesi mukonogwe, nokeyambula ela nokamwambaza..." The English version of it is that "if the owner of the bangle asks it back, he or she just puts forward his or her arm without altering a word, and you will have to just take it off your arm and put it on his or her arm..." Period...
Food for thought;
Let's respect and unconditionally love one another. Let's say NO to pride, selfishness, greed, self-centeredness, anger, self-righteousness, unforgiveness, fear, negativity and critism.
Respect and love one another as though there is no tomorrow.. Utilize the moment so well with your loved ones before those moments become precious memories... 😇🥰❤️🌹. The rest is vanity. "Byansi, byakuleka..."
You literally own NOTHING and hence lose Nothing....
God bless you all in this borrowed life... 🙋🏽♂️
