I have just asked a question about computer use, and it spurred another question in my mind: **How does attachment towards objects and places occur?**
I'm specifically wondering if *all* pleasurable activities and experiences reinforce attachment to their corresponding objects and places. For example, if a person watches *different* shows on television, and each are pleasurable, does this -- in addition to creating attachment to the different shows -- produce attachment to television overall aside from these shows?
In other words, I'm asking whether attachment transfers from activities to their related elements, the objects involved. Another example might be a person watching a theatre play which gives them pleasure; would such a person develop attachment to the theatre and the actors?
Finally, it seems relevant to include the example of someone engaging in casual sex for the sake of it but who then develops attachment towards the other person. Is this yet another case of strong pleasure forming at attachment via attribution?
