💓 It is not only a human being or a pet you can have this feeling for, but also a thing. 💘 Well, a thing with a soul, as it is the case of the guitar Lucille in the hands of BB King. It may look like a lifeless object, but in his hands it sounds full of life💖 Please, have a look at the lyrics. I'm sure you will enjoy the reading. 💗

I hate blues music, I don't like it at all, but I really feel the lyrics of the song, I think B.B.King love his guitar like a person more, I think that the affection that he feels is very real.
ResponderEliminarAll the people love the thing that makes them more happy, and this thing it hasn't got a name, it would be a person, an animal, a plant or any object that it's really make you feel good. I think that persons and animals have too muy easier to make us happy, but if B.B.King make this song to his guitar, I would imagine what it's mean to him.
I think that my first token of appreciation it will be for my parents or my friends, even my dog. But if I need to choose an object that I really have appreciation to it, it will be my tennis racket, I think it has been with me in too much moments, good and bad ones, but it has always been mi partner on this sport and I am very grateful for it.
I think that anyone had stopped to think which object make them most happy, but I think that at the same as persons, object could give us happiness too.

I think you can get to have a lot of appreciation for an object, because for example you use it when you are sad or very happy. But you can never love an object more than a person. BB King's guitar may mean a lot to him, but I'm sure he loves someone in his family more than that.
ResponderEliminarA simple object means nothing to me and what I love most are my friends and family, who are the ones who will always help me and make me very happy. It is very important to show them the love you have for them every day. Sometimes there are friends that it is better to stay away from them, because either they have not very good attitudes towards you or they do not bring you anything in your life, and it is better to stay away from them even though it may be difficult for you.
A day in which people show that they love each other is Valentine's Day, and couples give each other many gifts and go out to dinner at expensive restaurants. I think it is a very good idea, but it is not only shown on that day, love must be shown every day of the year.

There are all types of relations between people and between people and animals. But there are also special relations with objects.
ResponderEliminarIn my case, I have my first football boots still in my house because I have very good memories associated with them. They were a present from my uncle who was a professional football player ten years ago.
In addition, I can understand when people want to keep some things because they represent good times for them. I played my first matches with these boots and this was the beginning of my career as young player.
In conclusion, everybody keeps things that remind them happy moments, for example, a picture or a present from someone special like our grandparents.

Not only do people get attached to you, but you can also get attached to pets and even objects. Many people have a great affection for some object that is very appreciated for him, for example I have a lot of affection for my necklace, not for nothing but because it was what my grandfather gave me before he died and I have always worn it because I want to continue having something of him.
ResponderEliminarWhen you get so attached to something or someone, you just think that he is happy knowing what you have.
Honestly, a person, your pet and even a basic object can fill you with happiness.

In my opinion, it is very normal to feel attached to some object, either because it reminds you of something or someone, but I don't think you can love it more than a person. BB King's guitar may mean a lot to him, but isn't there a single person he loves more? I think so, even if he doesn't believe it.
ResponderEliminarI am very fond of some objects because they bring back very good memories, but I love none more than my family. An object can make you happy for a while but the one who is always there to help you is your family. It is very important to show them the love you have for them every day.
A day in which people show that they love each other is Valentine's Day, couples give each other lots of gifts, go out to dinner... I think it's a nice thing but I think love has to be shown every day.

Almost everyone has felt attached to an object at least once. In my opinion, it's possible to love an object almost as much as a person or an animal. That object often brings us memories from an specific event, which is what makes us feel so attached to it.
ResponderEliminarIn my case, I'very attached to some objects. For example, I have the tickets of all the concerts I've been to, and the tickets of all the trips I've done. I prefer keeping these tickets to buying presents in a shop because most of them will finish in a drawer with no use at all.
I also keep presents that other people made me, like books or photos because I found them so special to throw them away. In addition, I have at home many things that belonged to my father, like old exams, book and even his computer! These things are so important for me that I think that they would be the last thing I would throw away among all the things I have!
However, I believe that we can feel attached not only to a thing, but also to a thing that is not material, like a song. Personally, I love rock music because my father used to listen to it and I've been listening to it since I was very little. At the moment, I still love rock and even more when the main instrument in the song is the electric guitar. Hearing a guitar solo in a song can make me happy instantly!
