Phones reflect the self within us. We use covers that show a hint of our personality maybe a panda cover, covers that mask and hide the scratches and bruises but they are still there. They seem to grow and deepen each day and we have the power to stop it but how do we stop the scratches from showing, stop the smudges from appearing on the screen? The point is we can't. If the phone drops, it drops simple as that. yeah we should make a big deal out of it especially when new scratches appear but we have to pick the phone up. When it slips and falls again we must again pick it up. When the screen cracks we feel like we should have put a screen protector on. Then we try to protect it as much as possible. We try to prevent the cracks from deepening. We can't get new phones though, the self might be able to reassemble once cracked but fragments of the older self still remain , it can never be replaced. We can only try to take care of it like we would our phones.
