Adore means: to feel or show great affection and devotion.
Obsession means: a persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling.
So there’s a fine line between adoration and obsession. One doesn’t realize when adoration turns to a full time obsession.
I personally feel that when one is obsessed with something or someone, it’s out of their control. One doesn’t start feeling this strongly over night or knowingly. It happens without one’s realization and it hits hard.
Adoration on the other hand is when you feel strongly about someone but there’s a certain amount of respect and reverence associated with that feeling.
When does this adoration turn to obsession?
If math were to come into this situation, this is what it would look like.
Adoration - Respect = Obsession.
When the person thinks that the object of their adoration is theirs and only theirs that’s when it turns to obsession. But one forgets that nothing or no one is for theirs to keep. We all came empty handed and we will leave similarly too. How easy is it to forget this one simple fact of life? My answer is, it’s very easy.
Often being so wound up in life’s mumbo jumbo, we forget what we came with and what we will take back. Which is nothing. But we do leave behind a legacy. A legacy that one’s people will remember for some time to come.
