I do not have a television, so I am not as connected as others. Yet I have noticed increasing trends towards disposabiltiy in so many areas of life- packaging, mass-produced toys and gadgets, even advice (if something is not working for you, just get rid of it and find another one). This applies to pets, lovers, careers, vehicles, friends, employees, homes, etc. I agree that sometimes a good fit just is not possible, and that people and situations grow apart. But this trend distrubs me. Rarely do you hear advice that says, "put some thought into it and see what can be salvaged". It seems like true appreciation of an imperfect but well-worn object or situation or person is not valued. Am I the only one who sees things this way, and is disturbed by it? Where does love fit into this model?
