Having



Notice how we use the word having
.
Have a cigarette
.
Have a drink

.
Have something to do. 
.
It is as if by having that we can find a stronger security.
.
Whether this is of a material nature.
.
By having possessions.
.
Even where others are concerned we will say "having sex". 
.
No matter how much you have.
.
You are still alone.
.
You still are left to deal with being alone.
.
Never mind how much you have now you were born alone.
.
Will die alone.
.
Lets face it having is a poor substitute for strong relationships.
.
Having is an illusion because at any moment all that you have can be taken away.
.
At this point you might realise that you never really had anything.
.
Might, but there again you might not, so pervasive is the use of the idea of owning.
.
Which we so casually express by saying we have something.
.
Having!
.
When we stop and really think about it we can find that we already have everything.
.
It's just not a thing though.
.
It's all on the inside
.
Being a part of nature. 
.
Having on the other hand is being separate from whatever it is you think you have..
.
Get it?
.
Having is on the outside and anything on the outside is not yours to have.
.
On the inside on the other hand you can have it all.
.
Do already did you but know it.
