Re: Kicking Bicycles
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Emotional attachment to the inanimate is a strange thing, I agree. [/ QUOTE ] This is nonsense. Attachment to a painting or a book is not strange. We definitely have emotional attachments to our environments. Expecting an emotional reciprocation from the environment *is* strange. My favourite book, even though I love it, didn't have it in for me when it gave me a paper cut. Neither did this POS bike when it didn't get the OP past the pothole. [/ QUOTE ] Nonsense to you maybe because you attach emotions to those things. I don't. So it seems strange to me. That shouldn't be such a big deal. The way I see it, I have myself and I interact with the world. I don't go out of my way to get attached to things or concepts but remain in a perpetual state of motion of thought. More nonsense perhaps to some, but that's my outlook. You have to consider that not everybody has the same capacities and opinions and set of interactions with the world. |
