1) Does someone or something own or dominate you?

Ex. A person in your life? A thought?

2) Do you want to own or dominate something?

Ex. A goal? An action?

Here are some golden words from Ibn Arabi:

“Nothing is owned unless it is dominated,

and nothing is dominated unless it is confined,

and nothing is confined unless it is newly arrived,

and nothing arrives newly except the [potential] non-existence.”

Now read the above in the context of 1.

Read the above in the context of 2.
