Obsession is such a strange concept. It's a frame of mind where we are fixated upon something, one thing -- one entity and it just completely clouds our vision, our dreams, and our thoughts. I wonder how many lives could have been saved or lost, or how many marriages and relationships and friendships could have been spared.
The word itself is unique. The prefix "ob" means "against", and the latter part of the word is simply "session," suggesting that when one is obsessed, perhaps they are not in a session of fixation, but a long period of time of being utterly engrossed. I'm just theorizing here, taking my own impression of the word.
At first I wrote world instead of word. My own impression of the world.
