When we realized the meaning of emptiness and no-self, then we can see, do and accept things as they really are. All the things including ‘our’ place or space, our bodies are conditioned,hence they are all for us to make good use of to live our lives but nothing really belongs to us since we came with nothing so we go with nothing except for the Karma we have and created both wholesome and unwholesome..

‘Ours’ is but a ‘borrowed’ world. Amituofo :-$
Occasionally an insect such as a praying mantis flies into my flat and scares the daylight out of me. But I realize that despite me paying > $300K for this flat, the praying mantis do not view this as “private property”.
“Possession” is but the human’s conceptual invention. Ultimately is there something being possessed or someone who possess? I may possess the house in the legal sense, think I possess the house, and feel angry if someone else challenges that possession, or feel sad if ultimately it is taken away from me. But in reality is there a single moment that I actually possess the house at all?
Nevertheless I do take care of the house, because “possession” entails responsibility. Therefore “possession” is not about commanding or controlling the “possessed”, it is about serving the “possessed”. If such is the case, would you want more possessions or less possessions?
Well said! Ours is a shared universe.

re the ant on your desk, good.
what about coackroaches trying to get inside your underwear (or your ass hole)?
let’s not fool ourselves.
That’s a strange scenario, why wouldn’t you just grab the cockroaches and set them free rather than letting it up the ass?
