This is explains why I talk to my cooker, TV and fridge... No, hang on, it's being a lonely old git who doesn't get out much

Tincantitan1, Hahaha! I talk to just about everything for the same reason. I just have to keep telling my family that I am not getting senile and not ready for a home!

Wow how deep I like this will have to look into the word more, indigenous cultures feel similarly that everything is connected & all is sacred. How we’ve lost our way.

Player #JD9249185, It’s when they are talking back to you that there is a problem

this is similar to the belief that God is all and in all. its called Pantheism I think. I'd like to know more about it. I find beliefs and culture fascinating

Aristotle said all things were made of four elements: fire, air, earth and water.

I remember my philosophy lessons...it was really interesting actually, even if you didn't agree with something it's interesting to see how they thought and got to a certain conclusion. The only bad thing was dates. I'll never be able to remember when they lived

It is good to know that I am not the only person talking to things suround. Once my housemate wondered to who I was talking to, she knew I was alone in my bedroom. She could not stop laughing when she found out that I was talking to a frog that hide under my bed.

I can understand a belief that many things could have life in them, particularly plants and natural elements. But I think to say “everything” has life goes too far. A plastic bottle we made in a factory is not alive!

I love this philosophy - I too feel that everything has a "life force" in it, even rocks and clouds and water.

Tincantitan1, it's about natural objects and not about man made objects. A tree may have a soul, a soul group. what about a wooden stick? Not sure!

I took philosophy in college and never heard of this word. I understand what it is but this word is strange to me.
