What do mean when somebody says they don't understand? Everybody understands. What people fail to understand is the `other'. By the `other' I mean thinking about thinking i.e. meta thinking. We fail to understand what the other people are trying to tell from `their' perspective. Whatever we see or hear the perspective is always ours. This is a sort of filter that is very difficult to let go. Most of us don't even realize this, because we are not able to think beyond this, without this. For most of us there is no other way in which we can know about things, think about people and objects...
Many people are not happy with me being bonded to the tools of technology. They ask how can you have feelings for a dead and inanimate object like your bike or computer or books? Instead of loving living things how can you love things which cannot return your feelings or appreciation?
But my experience has been different, maybe this is my bias for things which I like. But then everybody of us has some or the other bias, only difference is mine is not what the majority has...
I am like that...
I cannot do without loving things which I use, unlike people who just `use' them but don't `love' them. Maybe these people do this for humans also they just `use' them but not `love' them....
And it is these people who call me techo-freak...
What I think is these people are inherently incapable of loving anybody let alone anything...
So when they see me caring about `inanimate' things they become uncomfortable at this thought or loving things of caring about them because it is totally alien to them, to their thought process... And this is what they even don't realize, they are judging their inability to care or love about people with my bonding with things...
