Dear All, Peng An,
Possession was a very intriguing and interesting human phenomenon.
John Ruskin once told such a story, that one man boarded a ship carrying his entire wealth in a large bag of gold coins. A terrible storm came up a few days into the voyage and the alarm went off to abandon ship. Strapping the bag around his waist, the man went up on deck, jumped overboard, and promptly sank to the bottom of the sea. So asks Ruskin: "Now, as he was sinking, had he the gold? Or had the gold him?"
A man possesses a possession.
Then gradually the possession possesses the man. When did that transition of ownership happened is a very interesting question that all of us would like to meditate. When you own some precious possession, then you are hte owner of the possession. When you are preoccupied by the possession to the exclusion of all other relationships or engagements, then you are possessed by your possession. You are no more master of the possession, but you become the slave of your possession.
財主與財奴之間何時跨越呢?
