All that I own is not mine; it was given to me by others and will pass away one day. All the goals I seek to obtain were revealed to me by others. Everything I know and write was taught to me by someone else. Even how I interpret what has happened in my life does not belong to me. This is the extent of my knowledge, understanding, and possessions. For all of this, I am indebted and thankful.
