What Is Really Ours?

Reading the 10-15 aphorism of Epictetus' The Handbook the theme that I was more interested in was when he talks about loosing your most important "attachments" for ever. I have always heard old people say children are borrowed. They nurture us raise us and then see us go. This is what Epictetus wants to say. People when they loose someone should say, "I gave them back," instead of "I Lost them." People don't own their relatives they were put in their ways so that they could have a pleasant life with good people but they weren't supposed to be owned by whom they appeared for. This reminds me also about the saying, you ' know what you have until you loose it, I have always realized that people are so greedy, instead of giving thanks for having met someone that hanged their life in a good way they cry and question God for having taken them away. They don't realize that they should thank him for giving them the opportunity of meeting someone like the one that died. Instead of saying why did you took him away, people should say thanks for giving me the pleasure of meeting him. In reality nothing is really yours instead of your body and your mind. People now have lost total importance of feelings and morality and the only thing they care now, is about the materialistic goods.
