Kintsugi is an Japanese art of repairing broken pottery using gold as the material for repairing the cracks. The philosophy behind Kintsugi is very similar in nature to wabi-sabi , which is embracing the imperfect.
There is a great song written by Trains lead singer Patrick Monahan and performed by Train and Ashley Monroe called Bruises.
The song deals with embracing our flaws as part of who we are. It can be tempting to cover up imperfections but it will not work. People can spot fake people a mile away.
It’s all right to make mistakes, you’re only humanInside everybody’s hiding something.
Dido Armstrong
Its important to put forth your “real self” flaws and all to the world, especially our family and friends. If your relationships are loving ones the family and friends will not only accept you flaws and all they will celebrate you with gold, flaws and all and, if they don’t they will eventually come around.
This is by no means a recommendation to hurt someone. It is ok to celebrate your flaws however it is never ok to break another person. Never
