Time Capsules

Few days ago, I found that I had accidentally recorded my dad's voice in my MP4. My mom was hearing it while sobbing for nights. I knew that it would be nothing if my dad was still around but it became sort of sweet sad memory because he was not around anymore.
It made me thinking about human's habit. Sometimes, We regard things as precious or classic because it was happened long time ago. But it would be only sort of junk if it came from recent time. For example is Andy Warhol's time capsules. I guessed it would be no more than junks if he was still around now. But since hwe wasnt around, Christie's will give a lot of high bargain on that junks.
It made me reaching the conclusion, that human is a very exceptional creature who giving more appreciation toward junks than real life. We will lament about things that we had lost but giving no attention to what we have right now. How ungrateful we are, and I have to admit that I am the most ungrateful one.
We will put ourselves in sorrow because of losing our loved ones but giving no attention if they are still around with us. We will cry for bad things that we had said to our lost ones but never think twice to not saying bad things when they are still standing in front of us. I think it is why we are still called human and not machine. Because machine has precise calculation, they know about things ahead while we are guessing and making more mistakes. Machine is never lamenting things while we sink into our own self made sorrow.
Nevertheless, I really, really wanna try to say something good, so I dont have to have more regrets in my life.
