Do you see? It's not what you own that is the problem. The problem is how much you are attached to it. The problem is not so much desire, but clinging. If you want to hold water, you have to hold it with cupped hands. If you make a tight fist, it runs away. Clinging and attachment bring us great suffering. We think attachment is love, but it is not.
