You said you don't believe in long-term or perpetual ownership? I wonder how long is too long. Ownership reminds me of relationships. You don't have a long-term relationship with your family? So, after a certain number of years, you disown your family? How do you define a relationship? Does that mean you will stop writing to me eventually? I know, you were talking about ownership and not relationships but I see a correlation between the two.
Emotions
Are you afraid of emotions like anger? Do you actively try to avoid them?
Contentment
I agree that attitude and perspective in life is key.
Responsibility
Yes, it may start with a response and that would be a first step.
Leading vs Owning
Why would you lead a life you do not own and if you don't own your life then who does and why would you lead a life that somebody or something else owns? That is theft to use something and to lead and guide something that is not yours.
Fighting
There are different kinds of fighting that is necessary in certain types of situations. Either you fight for what is right or you let the cows eat you.
Discipline
There is a lot of value in discipline in life. It involves character development.
Symptoms vs Causes
Yes, pain can be a symptom of root causes.
Creating New Habits
The ability to create new habits requires some discipline.
Pain
If you cut your finger with a knife like you said, then you may feel the pain. If you are distracted, you may not feel it but the damage is still being done. When you feel pain, you can accept it from a certain perspective and attitude which helps a person deal with it to help them calm down in the mist of the storm.
Love Thy Neighbor
You can choose to love other people, like you said with cutting your finger, on the way to the hospital, the people along the way. That does not mean you necessarily have to but it would be better. Being inattentive of others is not the best choice a person can make.
Role Model
Yes, being a role model helps the next generation. Now, if something is not pacifism, then it might be patience, kindness, mercy, grace, which are aspects of love which are critical in certain situations. The value in being friendly to each other is a critical ingredient within agape.
