Maintenance
It's not hard to start. It is hard to maintain.
It's actually fun to start. Maintenance.. is really a different story.
Quality of the daily life, I was thinking, is what matters (well that's all we have, at the end, innit?). Not denying that basic standards of food/shelter/security are essential, I am talking about laughter and stuff, not the "expensive commercial items". Oh well. The word quality is a very difficult one.
I think you could read the Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance if you want someone talk about it for ...ever (and says more than I do, surely). :) I read it already many years ago, I thought it was an okay read. Obsessed with defining quality, however, makes you wonder if that is really such a central question (quality is important, but defining quality, is that really so important? the author's message basically was "you know it (quality) when you see it, but you can't really "tell" what it is), or could you say "intuition!" (intuition?), shrug and move to the next question. Like if there's a deity, or if we're just vehicles driven by our genes, or if what the heck does it mean that there is a deity gene?
Wait, I was gonna talk about maintenance, and I didn't mean the maintenance of the universe when I started. Oh, sweet digression!

I seem to mess it first. Like when I clean the house, I do it once and I mess it again, and I don't care until it's messy again -
I don't maintain it, like my parents would do. Surely they do the right thing, but it matters really little to me when it is the housekeeping.
I wonder if I am like that in my relationships. *scratches head* Maybe I should speak to people close to me. :)
But hey, I do take notice when it gets messy and I make the effort to clean fix it up! :-)
