Commonsense dictates that in the short term (i.e. from birth to death), this is clearly the case. They certainly don't belong to anyone else. While they are mine, this is both opportunity and responsibility. Because of freewill I can, within their limits, use them as I wish.
This is opportunity.
My responsibility is to take sensible care them and use them without allowing myself to be used by them. The human state is very hard to attain. It should be used to attain the highest goal that a human being is capable of: Total Freedom from Suffering.

"O! dreadful is the check - intense the agony -
When the ear begins to hear, and the eye begins to see;
When the pulse begins to throb, the brain to think again;
The soul to feel the flesh, and the flesh to feel the chain."
-Emily Brontë
