Should we care for things or people? 
What is the value of well-crafted?

To care for people and not to care about things seems wrong.  The everyday items of living together reflect the way we feel about each other.  The art object, the well-crafted object, the cared-for object; all help us express our feelings of care for others.

If children grow up surrounded by crush proof, disposable, and damage proof stuff; can we expect them to learn lessons of care and respect for beauty, quality, and each other?   mb
