Omega 3 snake oil Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I came across this the other day, and it reminded me of something I think Stefan said. It was something along the lines of, once damaged, a person can never become whole or perfect, will always be flawed. I may be slightly misquoting, but I think the sentiment is accurate, and it resonated with me, confirmed some thoughts and feelings I've had.Then I came across this, which I think more or less directly contradicts Stefan's idea. I sent it to a friend (incidentally a neuropsychiatrist) who thought it was beautiful. I really like it, find it very life affirming. Thoughts on kintsukuroi versus "once broken it can never be completely whole" ?
bootoo Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 supposes that damage or suffering are wrong or imperfect....suggests a state of permanence is right Heres a philosophical example from fiction...on Dragon Ball Z if you dont kill the Sayain but just beat him, the worse he is damaged the stronger he will be when he recovers - what doesnt kill you makes you stronger...except a heart attack eh....DRAGON BALL Z philosophy YEH!
