I think the velveteen rabbit also reflects how we each want to be loved. Though we will steadily fall apart with age, have our shine scraped away by the world, someone will still find us to be beautiful and treasured, not in spite of these things but because of them.
JK Rowling has actually tried to write a novel around similar themes called “Christmas Pig” and to be fair, it is a fun read as a bed time story for kids but doesn’t hit quite as hard as the Velveteen rabbit.
- chasil 4y agoI myself have scavenged the source code of my predecessors, both alive and dead, that do things that I cannot understand, to make new systems that control our business. I don't think that there is any way that I could have loved them more but by giving them this new life, and letting them live again in the needs of my job. This is "technical debt." I do miss them. I live alone. That is the best love that I'll ever know.
