"Wanting to own, wanting to possess and not being prepared to give out is
not really a weakness for any particular thing. It is more generally
wanting to occupy oneself with something, and if you have lost or lose
interest in that particular thing, then you always want to substitute
something else in its place....So that is the real weakness -- though not
exactly weakness, but more a kind of habit that one tends to form through a
neurotic process of thoughts. The whole thing boils down to this
overlapping of thoughts which goes on all the time in our minds. We never
allow anything to really happen or take place in our mind. One thought
comes and, almost before we finish that, another one comes in and overlaps
it and then another. So we never allow any gap which would permit us to be
free and really digest things. Therefore it becomes a continual demand, a
continual process of creating and wanting to own. And that is why one has
to develop this generosity of really opening oneself." - Chogyam Trungpa
