# Possession
>When do you think about the person whom you [[Philosophy/Humans/Love|love]]? You think about her when she is gone, when she is away, when she has left you...So, you miss the person whom you say you love only when you are disturbed, when you are in [[Suffering|suffering]]; and as long as you possess that person, you do not have to think about that person, because in possession there is no disturbance...

>To exploit is to be exploited. The desire to use others for your psychological necessities makes for dependence, and when you depend you must hold, possess; and what you possess, possesses you. Without dependence, subtle or gross, without possessing things, people and ideas, you are empty, a thing of no importance. You want to be something, and to avoid the gnawing fear of being nothing you belong to this or that organization, to this or that ideology, to this church or that temple; so you are exploited, and you in your turn exploit.
>~ [[Krishnamurti|Jiddu Krishnamurti]]
Man need to possess since the dawn of time. He is a slave to his own nature, an irrational animal, a beast of no logic.
Possession is a [[Zero Sum Game]], possessing someone harms the possessed to the benefit of the possessor.
>M: The child is an entity independent of the parent. He belongs to Nature. He does not belong to the Parent. Every parent is a surrogate. Nature uses the parent to bear the child. But it does not grant her ownership of him.

The instinct to possess things and people is an evolutionary adaptation that developed over time as a way to cope with the fear of loneliness. By having something to belong to or be connected to, we gain a sense of security and stability. This instinct helped our ancestors to survive in a hostile environment by providing them with a sense of protection. However, this behavior can be detrimental if taken too far and can lead to difficult situations. It is important to be aware of this instinct and find healthy and balanced ways to cope with loneliness.
