I used to think that way about our house which was right in the middle of a path the deer used to get from one place to another. The real landlords of my house was not me (I owned the house). The real landlords were the deer who would still use the path long after I was dead and buried.
It applies to everything. The more you have the less you real it own it. I would say that it can also mean the more it owns you. Try moving with three truckloads of stuff if you do not believe me.
