If you want to buy my wares Follow me and climb the stairs..

Summary

This quote represents the concept of love being commodified and treated as a transaction. The speaker is offering their "wares," referring to love, and urging others to follow and engage with them. The use of climbing the stairs suggests exerting effort to attain this love. It encapsulates the idea that love can sometimes be presented as a business transaction, with one party offering it for purchase, raising questions about the authenticity and sincerity of such love.

While a person dies every day during the eight or more hours in which he or she functions as a commodity, individuals come to life afterward in their spiritual creations. But this remedy bears the germs of the same sickness: that of a solitary being seeking harmony with the world.
