Preventive Maintenance or Preventive Measures would also have been acceptable... Also, this is, I think, the first in what I hope to be a set of articles finally outlining how I see the world...
Preventive Maintenance is The Things You Do that prevent something from just... Dying. Or quitting. Like if I had a car, preventive maintenance would be changing the oil, rotating the tires, or even something as dumb as filling up the gas. Like... If I had a computer, preventive maintenance could be a whole number of things, like scanning for spyware regularly or cleaning out files I don't need anymore.
Basically, the whole premise behind this idea is that... So many things in life actually require preventive maintenance, and not many people seem to realize this. Things require baby sitting. This could also bleed into a more generic concept that existence and acknowledgement demand committment. This could also be abstracted away. For however cumbersome people few some preventive maintenance, like car maintenance, I feel that that kind of stuff could be made easier. An auto-checkup light or something silly like that. Not everyone in the world has time or the desire to learn how a car works. Or a computer for that matter.
Preventive maintenance. Don't die.
