I realize #36

There is no point in creating or acquiring anything -both material and immaterial- if it is not shared with others. It is not yours; you cannot claim ownership of it any more than you can claim ownership of water, or the sky. Its function, the reason it comes into being and into your reality is precisely so that you, along with others, can make use of it, enjoy it for what it is and gain more happiness, more fulfillment, perhaps more liberation even from it.

All that one possesses comes to naught if it is not used to enrich others besides ones' self. And there is always plenty to go around for everyone. Otherwise it lives and dies ingloriously with its “owner”, destined to find expression and fulfill its purpose elsewhere.
