LIFE | Are you free (or not) ?
"What are you afraid to lose? When nothing in the world actually belongs to you ." — Marcus Aurelius " 本来无一物，何处惹尘埃？" * — 六祖惠能 * There were nothing in the first place, so where the dust (worry/trouble) came from? — Sixth Patriarch Huineng 🇬🇧 [ français ci-dessous ] "I have my house, my car, my muscles, my youth, my relationship, my title, my kind deed, my travel and meal, my multilingualism"… Some may even add on their own memories and emotions. In a material world, we are easily attached to our "possessions"— we, unconsiously, create our own prison. ARE we what we HAVE? We don't even have our bodies. We are just renting/borrowing them. This suddenly came to my mind when I was sketching at a live model drawing session. The model lends/shares his body for us to draw, I borrow my hands and fingers to draw. Should we be attached to a book we borrow from the library? Maybe not ... Same for our body. We don't even own our mind sin...
