Property Rights

Rights’ rollercoaster seats these three: 1 ~ What's yours is mine. If necessary I'll take it by force and quickly flee. Such a ruinous view lacks maturity. 2 ~ What's mine is yours, so you may see when need unfolds or there’s calamity, no holding back, you can count on me. 3 ~ What's mine is mine, my philosophy. I keep my safe locked and hide the key. Wealth yields a status hierarchy. A biblical parable illustrates all three. What’s mine is yours that you may see some men sow, so OTHERS can reap. When thieves took yours, they wounded thee. What’s mine is yours that you may see - the priest and Levite were not free. Assets were theirs and theirs to keep. What’s mine is yours that you may see some men sow, so OTHERS can reap.
