    It’s a thing. A tool. It has no feelings and it absolutely shouldn’t be having opinions. It’s meant to be specifically designed to make my life easier, not add a different kind of complication.

      Then why scream at it if it doesn’t listen?

      Treating things badly hurts us more than it hurts them. Since the attitude accumulates, we will pay the price for treating the environment badly.

        Because we’re human and we vent our irritation. What a weird question.

          We don’t have to vent, especially if we don’t get irritated in the first place. Things show us our immaturities because it’s never caused by somebody else.

            And there you have it. The reason why people vent; things do irritate us, largely because they are irritating.

            it’s never caused by somebody else.

            The kind of thing spoiled people say.

              See, for you, the problem is somebody else. Things make that reasoning transparent.
