Hey. I’m going to ask why? Like if you are extremely tight financially I get it. But why make yourself suffer every day if it’s not needed? It’s going to be annoying and a slight negative to your day every day.
Because I’m a filthy hippy and I don’t want to throw a brand new cord in the landfill because I fucked up.
Dealing with it for a long enough time period will make me think of how I wrecked it and I won’t haphazardly leave my cables lying on the floor any more.
But I can’t help but think that adult humans don’t need to do penance and suffer for a year just because they made such a small mistake. It’s like a 12th century religious act.
I believe that adult humans can just learn not to do something without religious style self imposed suffering. If I burn my hand on the stove I don’t need to keep the would in pain for a year in order to remember not to burn my hand again.
This all being said I am a humanist materialist. If people come from a spiritual background where self imposed suffering helps the soul I can see why they would do such a thing.
I rolled over a brand new cable with my office chair. Now it does this. I’m forcing myself to use it for a year as penance.

Two reasons:

Ultimately it’s your life yah.
