One of the reasons I don’t have a car is that it’s another thing to take care of. But as I look around and observe a lot of cars, I notice so many of them in rough shape with dirt, rust, scrapes, dents and everything else, as if the owner just doesn’t care.

Negligence of anything, whether it’s a car, a bicycle, a pair of shoes, a suit or one’s home, not only demonstrates one of the seven deadlies (sloth), but it also shortens the life of the item. Imagine how much longer things would last and how much less waste we’d produce if we took better care of our stuff.
