This got me thinking a little more and I believe things of yesteryears which were lovingly handcrafted have in them the attention, dedication, love and will of their maker which allows them to last longer than items produced speedily by machines. The Malay word for this is hikmat and their belief is that when you pour your hikmat into the making of something, it becomes more special.
Handcrafting has little imperfections but that is part of it’s beauty as that is the visible imprint of the maker.
Thus it seems to be we have traded imperfect things made industriously with lots of heart with the perfection of form produce with great efficiency but lacking in soul.
agreed!
p/s: ehh i didnt know your malay damn power also? lol:)
