Summary

This quote highlights the essence of property and its relationship to human existence. It emphasizes that while we may assign rights and value to property, it ultimately lacks personal identity.

The quote suggests that property should be viewed as a means to enhance human life rather than an entity with intrinsic worth. It encourages a perspective that prioritizes the integration of property into the broader dimension of life's existence.
