On the subject of love and care, one anecdote from when I was a kid: I was watching something on TV 12 and a couple next doors, friends of my parents, came over. The husband remarked that the colors of the TV felt off, and they started discussing TV specs and that kind of stuff, which I obviously don't remember anything of. But what caught my attention at the time was how much they seemed to talk about the television, yet none of them really seemed to pay attention to what was on TV, too distracted to actually look at what was on there.
It is rather interesting how much people care about stuff that they ultimately don't pay attention to when they use it. It seems to me that a TV was a way of showing off to other people, and the same thing with an expensive car, or an expensive house, which one is too busy working to pay for to stay much inside in the first place. All that just to impress other people, which one doesn't even care much about in the first place. Go figure.
