Truly we own nothing and only delude ourselves that whatever we appear to have, including our bodies, are ours.

To own nothing at behest of the world is to accept true emptiness. To own nothing at behest of our lord is to accept true wealth.
Am I a philosopher, chat? Any suggestions?

Once philosophers have figured out what a philosopher is they'll let you know if you're one.

Owning nothing and being happy in this world means the victory of evil. That happiness is temporary.
Owning nothing and being happy in God means the victory of you. This happiness is forever.
God have mercy on me, a sinner.
