How Things See Us

Everyday we use and come across various items, tools, etc. Humans rely on items, and we tend to see them as those lifeless mandatory things in our lives. But, have you ever tried seeing it the other way around? Have you ever pretended that that stuffed animal in your kid's room has feelings, and is thankful that you bought him and provided him a good home? I think it sort of brings out the fun in all of us when we pretend that items have "feelings." Because by thinking of them this way, we are caring about them more, which makes us more responsible with them. We struggle a little bit more to "keep the item in good shape." For example, I love my laptop. I use it almost everyday, I'm using it now. But by writing this passage I'm actually starting to feel even more exicted about it! Because I'm pretending that it loves me back, that it's thankful I am a good owner. But what if I wasn't this way? What if I constantly got fustrated at it and beat on it? Well, I'm sure it would be heart broken; or, "circuit broken." There's no doubt about it, not only does caring about stuff a little bit more bring out the kid in us all, it also provides us with a sense of accomplishment, and that makes us happy. Infact, I see a little smudge on my computer, I think I'll go get a napkin and clean it! Can you feel the adventure?

PS. The reason why I made this a page, is because thinking of items in this sort of way provides you the feel that life is your friend, and that will make things seem alot less plain! It will also make you happier, and help you have a better outlook on life. Who knows? It might even help you live longer! Remember, being different is key.
