Who has an idea for a solution to this riddle verse?
A good year ago, I came across a riddle that has been troubling me ever since; the little riddle poem has six lines:
Whoever has it, has not it; whoever has not it, has it,
Keep it as your greatest treasure.
If you keep it clean, it will never get old,
Always retains its beautiful shape.
Whoever loses it keeps it well;
Whoever doesn't lose it, has to accept it.
Now good advice is hard to come by, and I'm hoping for hints, ideas, and tips that will lead to a solution!

I would suspect that the solution is happiness, since:
Who has it, has it not; who does not have it,
ANNEX Whoever has it is not always aware of who does not have it, appreciates the little joys of life.
Keep it as the greatest treasure.
ANNEX Whether you are aware of happiness or not, the happiness you have is the greatest treasure you can preserve.
If you keep it in, it will never be old,
ANNEX If happiness does not vanish, e.g. by bad deeds, then it remains.
Always keeps his beautiful shape.
-> Happiness never loses the value it has ever had.
Whoever loses it will raise it;
ANNEX Whoever loses happiness learns to appreciate it.
The one that doesn’t lose, there’s to buy.
ANNEX If you didn’t lose or lost luck, you won’t appreciate it.
My guess would be that it goes towards happiness or something similar.
This is the innocence/purity or consciousness about it.
How to interpret the last line?
‘That’s not losing, there’s to buy.’
I think it takes up the apparent contradiction from the beginning of d’s mystery.
Innocence and pure can be, for example, a small child and does not know what is innocence and guilt. An adult knows the difference between guilt and innocence, but has lost his innocence long ago.
Whoever loses his innocence thinks about it or about his fault.
Who for whatever reason does not lose his innocence and remains absolutely pure in the heart has no reason to think about it or to think about it. differently formulated, he can give up all the thanks to it “in purchase”, so give up.
Clever!
Solution: “right”
However, attention could also be a solution, right.
Spontaneous incident: ‘respect’. 😅
There may also be other solutions.
I also find the following puzzles:
Can I give you something I don’t have?
Thank you for your explanations!
The expression seems unusual to me, but overall a conclusive interpretation!
