Who else would like non living objects to have feelings (senses and emotions)?
They do have feelings. I know it sounds crazy but everything in the universe is just a collection of microscopic particles whirling around energy patterns. Seemingly solid (lifeless) objects are just swirling more slowly. The energy that holds all things together is the universal lifeforce that permeates all things, every inch of existence. So there is life and a form of feeling or intelligence in every inch of existence. Humans haven’t evolved enough to grasp this concept yet but some have. That’s why psychics can perform psychometry. (Look it up on wikipedia if you don’t know what it means.) They’re reading the living memory of the object.
