A broken bone heals with the point of the break being stronger than before.

We believe when we are young that our usefulness will come out of our training and education. They’re important but there needs to be something more. Something that glows and attracts. It is the development of empathy - the ability to know past book knowledge the depths of another’s suffering. I listen most closely to broken people because they speak to me from real life. Thanks for your comment Nancy.

What a great lesson in that story Ben. For me it brings to mind this verse: “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” Psalm 51:17

‭‭I am also reminded that sometimes broken things that heal are stronger than before the break. ‭
