Imagine the freedoms that come from the ability to enjoy things without having to acquire them, own them, possess them.

This is the enjoyment of non-attachment.

• And what if thou, sweet May, hast known
  Mishap by worm and blight;
  If expectations newly blown
  Have perished in thy sight;
  If loves and joys, while up they sprung,
  Were caught as in a snare;
  Such is the lot of all the young,
  However bright and fair.
