There is something to be said about broken things. The general perception is that such things cause pain, suffering, and regret. The knee-jerk reaction is to fix them. The last resort is to discard and replace them. Breaking looks, feels, and sounds like failure, but it actually is nature's masterstroke.
Nature intends all things to break. The first leaf has to break through the seed coat. The flower has to break free of its bud. The food has to be masticated for it to be useful. The muscle has to be stressed for it to adapt. Breaking is science at its finest.
Sometimes, breaking is not an effect, but a cause. Maybe it is not a consequence, but a catalyst. Maybe things break, so that we can embrace change faster.
