It is common to regard the owner as having exclusive possession, monopoly, with rights to enjoy and dispose of property according to desire; holding and using, or releasing, the property according to objective purposes. There are no significant subjective relationships between the owner and the owned, the owned passively yielding to the will of the owner. The relationship of possession excludes the possibility of real subjective relationships. The benefits of the relationship are presumed to flow to the one in command and control, without external constraints being operative. Real relationships do not fulfill this simple image of reality. It is the nature of reality that the owner is not clearly superior to the property, with full freedom of control. The owner may have needs which can not be fulfilled through ownership and control. The owner may have subjective relationships, even though only imperfect ones, with the owned---thereby undermining the fulfillment which might be had through a purely objective owner-owned relationship. The owned may be in a reciprocal relationship with the owner, each viewing the other as the owned and the self as the owner---with the associated conflicting expectations. Each may refuse to yield to the objective use by the other, refusing to be held and controlled. Each may have desires which can be fulfilled only through vulnerability and surrender, rather than through superiority and dominance. The objective relationships involved in ownership may block the fulfillment of hope and meaning which may be found only in the eternal now of authentic meetings in which there is no ownership. Relationships characterized by ownership promote envy and jealousy in which self concentrates selfishly upon what other and self own. The frustrations of nonfulfillment in ownership relations---generate covetousness and greed, in futile attempts to achieve fulfillment through more of the same, rather than through different kinds of growing relationships. This leads to growth patterns which will eventually bring external ecological constraints to bear upon the objective ownership relationships. The owners will find they are not in full control of their environment. No one can own their total environment. Externalities will always exist. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
