In your own words describe quality to me. What makes an object have "quality"?

Been reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? :eyebrow:

Quality is an experience, a certain way of experiencing time and space, the subtext of everything that has somehow become obscured yet is always there. The absence of quality is just as potent as its presence.

It is what Yoda called the Force.

qual- ; ...
qualis : of what kind? of the kind that.
qualiscumque : of any kind whatever, any whatever.
qualislibet : of what sort you will.
qualitas : quality, property, nature.
qualiter : just as, in whatever manner/ way

Great question!

To me, quality is like 'durable' in that it doesn't wear out quickly, and so quality engineering lasts longer, and quality art lasts.

Sometimes I think we are 'sold' quality like some music from the fifties, sixties and seventies we keep hearing, or some high-priced artist whose stuff we really don't care for other than it's expensive. So I can understand people paying for quality and i guess I understand why someone would want to pass something off as quality because it brings extra cash. I had the privaledge of riding in an Avalanche and personaly I didn't think the quality matched the price-tag.

Quality and appreciation .....................

When I think of quality things, people or places. They are going to have a high value of appreciation. That is, things I hold in great value because of the quality they hold. I appreciated them at first site.

Appreciation of the world around is the pinnacle of life. All this stuff, places or people we strive for are centered around the appreciation of said things. WE do not hold on to things of low quality as we get no appreciation from it.

Quality life is a happy life....


I think this....... :grin:
Quality is the catalyst between our desires and our reality

For most objects, its utility determines it "quality". What it can be used for? How useful is it? etc.
In the case of art, how pleasing is it to the senses? How much effort was spent creating it? Could anyone create this or does it take a rare talent?

Quality is, if it works best for a certain purpose and effect, reducing quantity of other needs to keep the same purpose and effect :wink:
