## Resource

How a broken, screwedup life can be beautiful (Kintsugi) Taoism for Inner Peace (BOOK): https://einzelganger.co/tao/Kintsugi doesn’t hide the history of brokenness; it accentuates it, making it a feature of beauty rather than something to put out of sight. This video explores the Japanese concept of Kintsugi and how a screwedup, broken life can be beautiful.Creative Commons (attributions):Kintsugi (1): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%E9%87%91%E7%B6%99%E3%81%8E%EF%BC%88%E6%AC%A0%E3%81%91%E7%9B%B4%E3%81%97%EF%BC%89.jpg Kintsugi (2): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hand_Pinted_Kintsugi_Pottery_Bowl.jpg Kintsugi (3): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kintugi.jpg Koepelhal: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Spoorzone_Tilburg,_Koepelhal.jpg LocHal: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LocHal_20190606__01.jpg Breda: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breda#/media/Bestand:P1000908copyGrote_Markt_Breda.jpg 'sHertogenbosch: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27sHertogenbosch#/media/Bestand:Beautiful_Gothic_Style_Cathedral_4.jpg Silverstein: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Larry_Silverstein_for_UJAFederation_of_New_York.jpgVideo: How a broken, screwedup life can be beautiful (Kintsugi)Support the channel: ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC (Donated BTC and want in the credits?
