prose: beg kulit kak long (or, eldest sister's leather bag)

You employ a piece of leather, strong durable yarn, a steel buckle, all of these things assembled to correspond to a certain unity. And what is the result of that unity? A bag.

Observe; leather + yarn + buckle or lock = bag (or, specifically a leather bag)

(of course this equation could also make up shoes, or even anything, therefore it has a prerequisite of:

handle or strap + storage compartment + bigger than a purse = bag

Or, any other equations attributable to a ‘bag’. surely you guys know what a bag is don’t you?)

On its own, the bag is beautiful. It is therefore; much admired and is put on display. After all, leather ages to be more beautiful.

Over time, however, it collects dust. Dust is not a requisite to achieve a bag. Dust does not correspond to that unity which brings this state of beauty; in fact, it deters it. It is a foreign entity (aptly called ‘foreign entity’ because even without it, it can also be a bag, nevertheless).

Observe; leather + yarn + steel buckle + dust = ugly bag

(A foreign entity does not necessarily deter its beauty. For example,

Leather + yarn + steel buckle + silver pendants = beautiful bag

of course, ‘taste’ would also have to be taken into consideration, for a bag with silver pendants could also be poorly designed, thus ugly, but this is a hypothetical thingy, to provide a clarity of concept)

So what do you do when a bag turns ugly the result of accumulated dust?
You dust it. So it becomes itself again, in all its pureness.
Thus it is beautiful again, in its unity.



by the way, how much would a bag of this stature cost, anyone?
