So, I've noticed something about our culture that maybe you've noticed this too.

It's one of those things where, you know, when something gets old or when something gets

scratched, it gets fiend up, it gets banged up, it gets broken, we don't really fix it.

We just replace it.

I don't know if you've noticed this phenomena we have.

We so quick to say, like, if something gets broken or something gets scratched or banged

up, we just say, well, it's ruined.

I need a new one.

And I think about that in light of your contrasting, like previous generations, other generations

that would simply, they just fix it.

They'd repair it.

But we have this replacement mentality.

This idea that if something isn't new or even like new, then it's ruined.

I mean, in fact, I remember hearing about a man years ago, who, whenever he bought a new

car, one of the things he would intentionally do because he would intentionally, in the

first week of owning his car, he'd take his car key and he would intentionally scratch

the outside of his car because he just wanted to remind himself that damage does not mean

ruined because we can so easily bind to that idea.

The damage just means ruined.

In fact, when I was 16 or 17 years old, it was maybe a weekend like this and we had a

bunch of family visiting.

My uncle was up with his family and he had a very nice, very new suburban.
