There seems to be a fundamental error in being emotionally attached to it, don't you think? Well, you can play the semantics game all you want and you can argue some bizarre philosophical concept Tried my best to avoid semantics or philosophical concepts and stuck to description, which is far more difficult. about how it is wrong to get emotionally attached to a metaphysical object, but the simple fact is, if you were to go home one day and tell your wife that you liquidated all of your assets and handed them over to a bum on the street, I suspect that you would get an emotional response. I would be a nickel that your wife would get an emotional response from you if she did the same. So me and my wife are perhaps making the error I described. Fifty million Frenchmen can be wrong. The real life smell test to the idea that you can't, shouldn't or won't have some emotional attachment to money, That seems sensible to me. really just boils down to more mental masturbation that belongs on the shelf with existential philosophy. So you think I'm spinning my wheels but you don't make the case. You will note that I didn't say that the main character stays emotionally detached from his intimate partner, but that he stays emotionally detached from his desire for women. Look at it. How can you have desire without emotional attachment? The character has to be doing something else to be believable.
