“I think we’re property.
I should say we belong to something: That once upon a time, this earth was No-man’s Land, that other worlds explored and colonized here, and fought among themselves for possession, but that now it’s owned by something:
That something owns this earth – all others warned off.”-(Charles Fort, The Book of the Damned)

I’ve never considered myself anyone’s possession. The very idea signifies possession to my mind.

Me neither, Intellect and emotion are a long leash- but a leash nevertheless… It would seem it’s not often we even have “Self possession”…
