Condescending? No, not at all...I was being sincere.
To the extent you become obsessed with the object,
the object arrests from you your freedom. One has
to be careful not to objectify people. For objects
can be loved but they can not love back. So if I may
say the most careful words I can think of may you live in
whimsy, and fly weigthless on butterfly wings.
