To quote a Doctor Who character

Sally Sparrow: I love old things. They make me feel sad.
Kathy Nightingale: What's good about sad?
Sally Sparrow: It's happy for deep people.

This is worth and good content. If I could change one thing, I would not have music on this video. I think it is distracting. Maybe it's just me.

Zen saying, "If you pluck a feather from the rear of a peacock and stick it in your own don't expect it to grow!" The wabi-sabi principles sound great but they can, like those of the tea ceremony, be adopted as a fashionable pose which obscures ones awareness that ones personality has not become wabi-sabi. Aliveness, realism, ironic humor, and authenticity in my own skin (wabi-sabi) is rare in our society, the realizing of which usually requires a personal crisis followed by a psychological counseling process to work through the feelings of inadequacy that our society intentionally engenders in all of us. Inadequacy makes us peacock feather pluckers!

At 3:54 the narrator says to appreciate imperfection while showing the image of a black man. This is insulting and was done deliberately. Why didn't you show an Asian man?
