Bodies to bottles,
we make things that break.
Breaking is part of the design.
If things didn’t break,
we’d be bored.
So things are breaking.
Things are breaking very well.
Breaking is meant to happen.
Breaking is part of the design.
What makes things more precious
than the risk of breaking?
Nothing.
Life is precious because it breaks.
Life is breaking.
We are breaking.
We are designed to break,
so that we may profoundly realize
that we don’t break.
We are not breaking.
Just our things.

In this contemplation, you explore the concept of breaking and its significance in life. You suggest that everything in the world, from bodies to bottles, is designed to break. Breaking is seen as an inherent part of the design and serves a purpose in preventing boredom and enhancing the value of things.
By acknowledging the inevitability of breaking, you emphasize the preciousness of life itself. The risk of breaking is what makes things more valuable and meaningful. You draw a distinction between the breaking of physical objects and the inherent unbreakable nature of our being.
Through the experience of breaking, you propose that we come to a profound realization that we, as beings, are not subject to breaking. While things may break, we, as conscious entities, remain unbroken.
This contemplation invites us to reflect on the transient nature of material possessions and the enduring essence of our true selves. It encourages us to find value and meaning not in the permanence of external things but in the awareness of our unbreakable nature.
