Why would you take what is mine?

anne artist said...

i might think i deserved it. i might not see your needs. i might need to fill up a hole inside with what seems to belong to other people.

i mean, i would not......but there are some ideas.

Sara said...

Then...would dare to take away from me, something I could need more than anything else? Because that's one of the risks you're taking by get what is mine.

i doubt that if someone wanted to take something from you, it would seem as interesting to take what you don't need.....maybe it is like.....if it helps you, then maybe it could heal the emptiness inside the taker......might be the taker's thought....or not.

Sara said...

What if it seems the owner doesn't need, but it does...would that also be heal?

anne artist said...

have you tried to give away something you don't need? what happens?

is there not a difference between taking and asking for? what is to be gained from taking and once taken, does it ever belong to the one who has taken it?

Sara said...

It happens that I lose something but I don't feel it like lost.

If you yield something, then it stops being yours; so that the thing you asked for can be yours, if you just take it, I think the desition must be made by the taken thing.

anne artist said...

if you lose something, how do you feel about what has been lost?

ah, so the thing taken has a role, also. i like it!

Sara said...

It depends on the value it had to me.

Of course, everything has a role. Things exist for some reason, that's their roles.

anne artist said...

and what is value?

it seems often people thing objects are inanimate and have no role except to be used. or discarded. and so forth.

Sara said...

Feeling value, I ment.

We people still have to learn so many things as objects might have more than one used, or maybe they are not just to be used...and also have a role in world.

anne artist said...

ah....feeling value. the story.....

and if i am not being useful, then i begin to wonder if i have a value, a role......is that not how we are conditioned to think?

Sara said...

Even if you're not useful, something or someone will have feelings for you, feelings of any kind; so these value is never lost, it just changes...I guess.

anne artist said...

and to be of value just because i am not because i am useful......

Sara said...

If I know you don't have value, you would be valuer for me than a thing with value just for being useful.

anne artist said...

basically, i just am. and there will be those who find value in that and those that don't. if i expect to be valued then i lose my own way in valuing myself.

Sara said...

Ok.

I value you.

anne artist said...

thank you. and i you.
