| If
You Love This Site
Our language has
not yet caught up to our desires. You might say that you love
a car or a movie, but no one would assume that you feel the
same way about these things as you feel about your children.
But for a small class of people, true love is not limited
to other human beings. These gifted individuals can fall in
love, and have satisfying relationships, with physical objects.
One notable recent example was a woman who considered herself
married to the Berlin Wall, and who experienced terrible suffering
after the wall was destroyed during the fall of the Soviet
Union. This ability to form complex (perhaps animistic) relationships
with objects is called Objectum-sexuality.
Luckier still are
those who can fall in love with abstractions, like a mathmatical
equation or a web site. If you believe you are in love with
this site, you may have been given the rare gift to transcend
the customary laws of attraction and friendship. You may perceive
that a website is more than just a puppet for its creator.
It is a living entity that grows and changes in the sunlight
of your attention.
