“No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.”
— Paulo Coelho

Simplified Meaning:
Nobody can really lose another person because we don't own each other. Imagine two friends who care deeply about each other. They support and help one another without feeling like they belong to each other. This is true freedom. It's about enjoying the best things in life, like love and friendship, without trying to control them. For example, in a healthy relationship, partners support each other's dreams without being possessive or controlling. They find joy in the connection, not in having ownership. By understanding this, people can build stronger, more meaningful relationships and appreciate others without feeling the need to control them.
