I own quite a few things, and am quite attached to them. I was raised not to put stock in things. As a Jehovah's Witness I was taught that the only thing worth anything in this world is your relationship to God. I see the wisdom in that, but I love my stuff.
Mostly the things that I am attached to are ways to extend myself, I don't see them as object hoarded under a bridge, but more like my own arm or leg. I love tools, I like having things that can let me do other things that I wouldn't have otherwise been capable of. Computers, saws, instruction books, binoculars, watercolor pencils, my wok. They make me feel like a magician, a superman. Sometimes I learn to make my own tools, and I love those too. I don't have much patience for knick-knacks, or artwork, even my own handmade knick-knacks and artwork. Is this the same as ownership or is it something different entirely? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
