Fixing broken things(10/365)
The only way to move forward with life is to move on and if possible fix the broken things, repair. In recent times replacing things has been given such an importance, nobody thinks about repairing. In bikes ,slight issue with chain noise ends up with chain and sprocket replacement. A phone with a loose backplate, we buy a new phone. Many times we move away from stuff which has still life left, which can still be useful to us with a simple fix. Yet we prefer to move on.
And this has specifically been carried over to our nature, in our relationships. We prefer to replace than fix. We forget the Importance and memories associated with it and simply move on.
I believe everytime I buy something I put a piece of my soul in it. Maybe everybody does which is why we are attached to it. But if we start replacing stuff simply instead of taking any efforts in fixing it, we will keep loosing parts of our soul and it will make us insensitive towards things someday.
There are many relationships where there is a simple matter of communication, but people prefer replacement than fix.
I have decided I will bring the change in myself first before preaching here. :-). Which is why I have ordered strings for my guitar and a display replacement for my older laptop. Let the repair commence.
