"I am dead because I lack desire;
I lack desire because I think I possess;
I think I possess because I do not try to give.
In trying to give, you see that you have nothing;
Seeing you have nothing, you try to give of yourself;
Trying to give of yourself, you see that you are nothing;
Seeing you are nothing, you desire to become;
In desiring to become, you begin to live."

I love the statement that trying to possess could be tied to not trying to give. I believe I've found it unlikeable if or when somebody wanted to "possess" me,if I understand the full meaning of that word. I think it is a word that's meaning is harder than most words to understand or give context to.
