Kintsugi "When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful." Kintsugi (Noun) To repair with gold; The art of repairing metal with gold or silver lacquer and understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken
yes, thank you! it drives me crazy how people would compare humans with plates, like.. .if you do something bad to a human being, you can do a lot of things to show you're really sorry. humans feel things. plate is just broken china, for got's sake! things with human beings can be fixed, even china can be fixed!. this crazy idea that once something goes wrong it has to stay wrong... that's idiotic. if we lived like that, we'd be permanently angry with half the peopel we know before we were 15 years old. it's ridiculous. forgivenes isn't something abstract and impossible, neither something weak and pathetic.
Most of the time, after bones are broken, they grow even stronger. The same for you: when you are "broken", it is an opportunity to grow stronger, it just takes time. And you do not need anyone to be sorry about this shit.
...see? Metaphors can teach ANYTHING!
It's a physical object. Of course saying sorry won't fix it. Feelings and a broken heart however are not physical and therefore, can be forgiven and forgotten and moved past with a simple "sorry".
this meme annoys the shit outta me. its not directly inaccurate, but i feel like the comparisons it makes are so skewed from how things really work, and most the people i know who post it a lot, are also infamously bitches, which i think supports my dislike.
