I can create a fart, but it doesn't mean I own it. I don't subscribe to any notion of property, intellectual or otherwise. Even this book, when it is finished. I might have wrote it, but if someone else wanted to create a PDF of it and sell it on Amazon, they could. And yes, I suppose I could sue them, if I recognised the authority of the courts, but what does ownership really mean if I need to go and petition some external authority to prove that it belongs to me? However, if I wrote a book that was read often, and the ideas I shared in that book led to the deaths of many people. Well, that would be my fault for choosing to share the ideas - and that is a definition of ownership that has substance.
I think we humans lack humility and realise not that we've never invented a single thing. We do not create ideas, but discover them - or are gifted them by the spirits that possess us.
I used to loathe the title Lord, as a word for God. In fact, my distaste for it was so intense that I used the name Lordless as a moniker. But I believe now that it was my misunderstanding of what ownership really meant that bothered me so much about it. I did not like the idea of being owned in the sense that one would own a sock or a shoe. It made me hate the idea of God. But, now I understand that God is called Lord, because God is responsible for us, much the way a father is responsible for his children - hence the repeated analogy of God being the Father.
There is a lot more I have to say about this issue, but I already intend to speak on what I would write now in the next chapter, so I will just do that. But, I appreciate you commenting your thoughts. It is easy to lose the motivation to write when it seems like no one is listening, at least for someone who is as weak as I can be.
