How to use "Wear" in context?
What is wear? Wear is the cumulative effect of all the physical or chemical agents and experiences that a person has in their lifetime. It is the sum total of all the influences that have an impact on the person. These influences can come from the person themselves, their environment, or other people. Wear is an important part of life, and it affects every person in different ways. It can be positive or negative, but it is always ongoing. There is always something new to wear, and there is always something to replace it. The wear process is never-ending and never-ending.
