Western armies set up military bases there and introduced isolated peoples to manufactured goods, or “cargo”. * **Sandra:** After the military personnel left, the native tribes implemented superstitious rituals that mimicked the behavior of the foreigners. Of course the desired cargo never materialized. * **Woo:** I see. But what has that to do with chinaware? * **Sandra:** Very much like fake airports won’t bring cargo, fake traditions won’t bring meaningful relationships. * **Sandra:** These people bought “family china” and other useless crap in an attempt to “create” traditions. They viewed traditions as something you can buy, rather than something substantive, like shared experiences or at least a shared past. * **Sandra:** They bought this expensive tableware solely for the purpose of passing it down to their children, keeping it in a cabinet so that it doesn’t get “ruined”. Its use didn’t matter to them, only what it represented. * **Sandra:** Later, they were shocked when their children showed no emotional attachment to these things. Reading them bedtime stories would have been a much better “investment”…! These people weren’t evil, but terrible role models nonetheless. We can be better! * **Woo:** Excuse me, but I need some cute raccoon kits now. * **Sandra:** That’s the spirit! --> {{tag>military religion sandra sirius society vega woo}} 保存后继续编辑 本网站的名称，英文，仅限小写 请将此区域留空保存 预览 取消 编辑摘要 当您选择开始编辑本页，即寓示你同意将你贡献的内容按下列许可协议发布： CC Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 4.0 International
