Have it and own it

You can have some things but never own it. On the flip side, you can also own some things but never truly have it.

It is human nature once we find something we are fond of or something we admire deeply, then we want to have it, hold it and own it.

Love is one of those things, when we experience it with someone. We want to keep that experience and so we want to keep that someone. We desire recurrent experiences and moments with that someone or something.
However, is it ok to always love and have?
Is it that loving without having is a higher degree of love?

The average person wants what they love and love what they want.
But is it ok to be this way?
In loving without having, you give of yourself wholeheartedly without feeling the need to own, possess or have. It is that high point of love where it becomes truly immaculate. It is also that point where you love and give rather than love and take. That is why the bible says that God is love.

This type of love of which we speak is usually found in true friendships, it is almost heaven sent. It is that level where you are able to love something or someone without holding them too tightly but allowing them to be and if they are really yours they will stay.

So when we decide to love someone or some thing without having it, we have set ourselves some boundaries. Boundaries that we all need and boundaries we fear of breaking. But true love is powerful and without fear.
