It is both interesting and sad that people do not take a lot of time to understand how things work, they just care if things are working. People develop a sense of ingratitude when something they want doesn't work or is unavailable to them. A great deal of work goes into creating anything and if people took the time to understand how things are made, maybe they would come to appreciate them more. People take available things for granted and don't treat them as well as they should most of the time and then they get upset when those available things wear down or disappear! People have a lack of appreciation for things because they think the supply is unlimited and easy to produce. If people truly understood that the frailty of things and how hard it is to create things, maybe they would appreciate what they had more when they had it.
Details are the determining factor in whether or not a piece of writing will actually be enjoyed by a reader. If there are too few details, the writing will be boring and the reader will quickly find something else to occupy their attention. If there are too many details, a reader will become confused as to what the subject is about and want something else to occupy their attention. There has to be enough detail to capture the attention of a reader, but not an excessive enough amount that the reader will be driven away from the piece. There are appropriate times and places for detail in writing and a good writer will know how, where, and when to apply proper details in their writing. It is a useful skill that we can all benefit from learning.
