rel: A Day of Unwant
I was wondering what would happen if I began to treat every object I use, as if I were in love with it.
Like this keyboard I am typing on right now. I use it, probably like it, maybe even love it to some extent, whatever - but I do take it for granted. If I think of myself that I am in love with it, like act out that feeling and impart it in the keys, it feels very different.
What if I just did that for a day with all of the objects around me? Just for fun.
I see trees around me, and I think of their days. I do love them.
Maybe I’m too rough with things. Maybe I push them too hard, or think of them as disposable.
Sometimes I see a bit of trash lying around. Say it is like a chip bag, that the wind has deposited in some ivy. Everyone is passing it. I don’t think it was deposited there in malice.
Doesn’t it make you mad? Do you walk around and feel nothing?
We should pick it up.
