Broken Heads...

Have you observed there used to be "repair shops" for every equipment almost in every street in 80s and 90s and now all disappeared?

Actually speaking all those repair shops are replaced with clinics, hospitals, and medicals these days fixing our bodies and minds, to be specific isn't problem in mindset ?

This Mindset shift can be understood by 80s and 90s kids...But most relatable for current and upcoming generations.

The headset in the picture was broken at the head grip, since few days it was unused but it sounds fine.

My daughter asked me to get a new one, i said if you need it, you have to fix it, consider getting a new one is the last option. After some trials, she attached her metal headband and started using it as usual...

Discarding and finding new replacements became a lifestyle.

The point is losing something/Someone is very easy.

As someone said "Quitting is a disease", once we start leaving things/relations/people, someday we lose ourselves.

The ease with which we let go of things, of people, is a silent testament to a fleeting world. This loss, subtle yet profound, is a mirror to our choices, to the lessons we impart to the young souls around us.

Take time to fix, repair, reuse enhances our abilities:

Resourcefulness: Involves thinking outside the box to find solutions that extend the life of anything.

Sustainability: By fixing anything, individuals contribute to reducing waste and conserving resources, which is crucial for sustainable living.

Patience and Perseverance: It’s a mindset that values continuous learning and self-improvement.

Sentimental Value: Fixing preserves memories and personal connections and its longitivity.

Self-Reliance: It fosters confidence in one’s abilities to handle problems without always relying on external help.

Mindfulness and Responsibility: It reflects a broader ethic of care and responsibility towards everything you deal with. It fosters a sense of community and collective responsibility.

Let kids learn to fix things if broken, let them discuss difficult topics to fix relations, and let them learn to accept imperfections. Let them embrace anything/anyone flawed, broken, and challenging. Let them discover the depths of our capacity for love, understanding, and true connection.
