    love and possession

    Love and possession... any relations?
    Do we always love what we possess?
    Do we always possess what we love?
     
    I think we usually love what we don't possess... and rarely possess what we love.
     
    We go shopping because we get the chance to "fall in love" with that awesome jacket, or those really cute shoes, or that cleaverly designed letter opener... 
    we came, we saw, we want to own it. we love it,
    we want to own it, because we admire it, it's beautiful
    we see the beauty in it, a beauty we do not find in our own life, we ponder through our mind how much beauty this could add to our lives if we could always have it, we grow attached to it, we want to always have it, we want to take it into our life and make it ours.
     
    we want to possess it,
    we acquire it by buying it.
     
    the transaction takes place upon which a ritual of a ceremonial contract is made.
    the ownership of it is now ours.
     
    Now we have it, it is now a part of our possession... we grow used to it.
    This becomes our life... a life that includes our new possession... and the new possession soon enough becomes the old possession... we feel the need to go shopping again, because we miss that feeling of knowing that you get a chance to "fall in love" with that awesome car, that cute dress, or that cleaverly designed piece of furniture...
     
    but we will always love that old toy we had as a child once but have lost over the years... that old toy we love but nolonger possess.

    but isn't love the ultimate virtue? Love makes the world go round. Is this cliche actually a destructive thing? What I have learned is that love is to care deeply for something or someone and as hard as I force myself --- I don't think caring is wrong. Apathy is. Maybe some people (myself included - but I am gradually changing that) think that love is equal to sex, love is equal to possession and ultimately possession is equal to control. Is it right to say that the closer you/he/she get/s to another person, the more you/he/she feel/s trapped and confined? Can't one be free and love at the same time?
