Ownership or Partnership…???

Owning what you want!!! Does this make you want it more…. Or will just give you the sense of that you got what you want…. Then you lay back and start to be reluctant of keeping what you have… treating it as fore granted….

Ownership vs. Partnership…. Do we really understand the difference??? Do we really care to understand it??? Are we ready to give away the lust of ownership… to enjoy partnership???

I can explain it in two sentences… like a flower you see in a garden and you get attached to it… you visit it everyday… you care about it and you water it… you make sure that it is safe… and that has enough sun to keep it alive… The flower is not yours… but it is attached to you…. It feels your care and appreciates it…. It blossoms for you... it smiles at you…. It spreads happiness around to all who sees it….

Or… like a flower in a garden and you get attached to it… but this time you crop it to take it home with you and to put it in a vase… you will water it… you will make sure it is safe… but this time… the flower is imprisoned in the vase… taken care of… but not smiling at you… and eventually it will fade… faster than the one still in the garden….

All of us crave for ownership … but life has more meaning than just owning something/someone and taking it/him/her fore granted… as we are human beings… the moment we take things fore granted… we loose interest… and we try to search for another thing to own… to hunt down… to get….

Life is about sharing…. partnering… caring… life is about getting what you want in your circle of interest… and still wanting it forever… continuing to do the effort for partnership to stay… for care to give... for love to live… for an ever after life… the what/who you partnered with….

I worked hard to set them apart in my life… still some things need to be owned.... and some Lives need simply to be shared…!!!

Wishing you an enjoyable moment sharing… and happy New Year :):)

Cheers!!!
