The Collector

The idea that inanimate objects like stones have feelings is not supported by scientific evidence. Feelings typically require a certain level of neurological complexity, which is not present in stones or other inanimate objects. Feelings and emotions are generally associated with living organisms, particularly those with complex nervous systems, such as humans and some animals.

However, it’s not uncommon for people to anthropomorphize objects or attribute human-like qualities to them, which can sometimes lead to expressions like “stones have feelings.”

This may be done for artistic, poetic, or metaphorical purposes, but it’s not a literal statement about the nature of stones.
