The Meaning of 'Stuff'

I like stuff.

I can't help it. It's my nature. But what is 'stuff'. After all, it's probably the most vague explanation that one can come across. Similar to these...

Mother: "How was your day at school?"
Child: "Fine."

Character 1: "What are you doing?"
Character 2: "Nothing."

Mother: "So, what do you feel like for dinner?"
Child: "Food."

These children certainly have a thriving relationship with their parents, one that encourages discussion. 

From this point on wards, I encourage you to follow with me as we dive into the depths of discussion; about the meaning of 'stuff'. Well, sit back and enjoy scrolling as I try to unravel what my brain is eager to share. 

This term is highly relevant to me as well as this blog as the 'desirable products' which I share with you, are 'stuff'. Well done Nathan. This understanding of the word brings us even closer into understanding my meaning of the word. 

Stuff: a tangible object / material which promotes desire and lust due to the immense joy and satisfaction which it provides due to its specific function, appearance or taste in some cases. 

Take that in. 

Therefore, my interpretation of the word positions itself perfectly within the context of my life as well as this blog. The basis of this blog is then relied on 'stuff'. Still being a general term, let's attempt to break down its generalization.   

The term could refer to an extensive range of categories. When thinking of it in the context which I have mentioned above, perhaps things such as physical objects such as a toaster, a camera or a book. Connotations of the word are associated with anything that we can see. Not so much nature though. Nature's an exception. God indented it that way. So that we can appreciate it more. (let's get back on the band wagon)

In my interpretation of the word, 'stuff', carries with it the burden of "I want this object more than I need it", which makes 'stuff' a luxury rather than a necessity. May I reiterate an even closer connection to the term and to this blog. However, the ability to separate the explanations which are clumped together under the umbrella of 'stuff' is harder than I thought. Nevertheless we will attempt to unravel it!

Imagine a spider-gram hovering in the air opposite you. Place the word 'stuff' in the air opposite you. Draw two lines coming out of the word. The lines represent the introduction of the subcategories which this term covers. The two lines represent: tangible objects and psychological lusts. Now stop right there because I have taken the liberty of showing you what I mean. 

  

So that's how my brain works. Completely random. But structured. I wish it would come in handy during studying.

Back to the additional connotations of the term. Since it's a luxury, emotions of lust and attraction are heavily evident it any objects regarded is 'stuff'. It's pretty easy to understand that because cameras, clothing and anything that will pointlessly uplift your life is generally sort after by a large group of people. 

May I remind you of the website This Is Why I'm Broke . com, a prime (although extreme) example of pointless stuff which people want more than anything in the world. 

Let me conclude before this rant's structure completely unravels.

I will end off by saying that this explanation of 'stuff' completely fits in with the notion of this blog. It was meant to. Oops.
