Brain Teasers
Tied Up
Hundreds of threads, together they nestle,
To form the leash of a water dwelling vessel.
To put it to use, you must set it free
To dispossess it, by all means let it be.
Mostly you release it only under your gain,
Yet you feel apathetic, no moral pain.

Answer
A boat that is moored to the shore, or port, by rope.Explanation:
"Hundreds of threads, together they nestle" - the rope
"To form the leash of a water dwelling vessel" - the rope tied to the boat
"To put it to use, you must set it free" - to go for a boat ride, you have to untie it
"To dispossess it, by all means let it be" - the current would have it drift away if you don't secure it.
"Mostly you release it only under your gain" - you go for a boat ride for leisure, fun, etc.
"Yet you feel apathetic, no moral pain" - a boat has no emotion. Normally, you wouldn't
feel bad about tying it up.

Good teaser - easy, but entertaining.
I guessed a rope, but thought it might be too obvious, so them I changed my mind to an anchor, which kinda makes sence. It was fun!
It's kinda nice.
