How could craving be the habit of reification?
score:3
Accepted answer
Reification is simpistic naive superficial perception. It's a generalization of the same problem that children have with toys. A child sees a new shiny toy and because he does not think deeply, because his perception is superficial - in his mind the toy is attractive and desirable.
Reification is seeing the outer image and buying into its glow, its fake promise to make you happy.
