You are related to everything

You are related to *everything.*  Animate and inanimate.  Animal, plant, rock, water, fire, wind.  Everything.  Why?  Because you and everything you perceive are made of atoms that all came from the same place; the depths of a star; The Big Bang.  The Universe is One.  Everything is just an extension of you.  You are just an extension of everything else.  And part of The Greatest Thing is loving yourself.  So when you "love" a rock or anything else inanimate, you are loving yourself.  Plus, "loving" things makes you feel good!  So why not do it as much as possible?  Love your couch, your table, your pots and pans, your toilet, everything.  Leave nothing out.
