You said a girl taking all your money. Which is why I said what I said. What does money have to do with taking care of someone?
I think you misunderstand me but that's OK. As I already stated. If you think it's worth it to you that's fine. Nowhere did I state in anyway that it was wrong. In 'my' thinking however a company does not deserve it or sport for that matter. I can appreciate the skills of sport, I can appreciate good design. But they are just things to me. People are more important to me than these things and for good reason.
That was my point.
All a company wants from you is your money, If you want to think otherwise that's up to you. If you think being passionate about it and it means something to you, great I'm sure the company will appreciate your loyalty to buy their next product. Just like the sports team wants your loyalty so you support them. No difference.
If you think all a women wants is your money then you're dating the wrong women.
If you can't get your head around that I'm not sure what to say.
I don't see a big difference between passion for human beings and passion for things. Or passion for free stuff vs. passion for expensive stuff. Passion is passion, It's the same mental process, only the subject is different, that's a minor difference.
I do think passion is unhealthy because it doesn't feel good, it's a state of deprivation of what you want. And when you finally get what you want it never is as good as you dreamed it'd be. The happiness from getting what you want is extinguished fast, doesn't last long. Soon you want more, something bigger, better.
Passion is a thirst that can't be quenched, It's like the addiction to heroine, or other addictive drugs that cause tolerance.
So, when someone says -passion for WP is stupid because MS only wants your money- I say that's nonsense, it doesn't matter if MS takes his money, that's not the big problem of passion, that's superficial. It's like saying -I don't like this type of cancer because it makes me look fat, I want this other type of cancer-. The problem of cancer is not that you look fat, it's that you can die fast, you don't change one cancer for other, you want to be healthy.
