The Art Of Embracing Damage was created by Reacher
A wall quote from Reliah - followed up by Slebo - sparked a memory of something I studied several weeks ago.

Kintsugi is considered the Art Of Embracing Damage. In a practical sense, it is repairing pottery with golden lacquer to make a more unique and beautiful piece - not to hide or be ashamed of its broken places. I thought the idea behind this practice was absolutely beautiful. Here is a video on the topic:

The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.

Hmm...thanks for the heads up, but it does seem to load for me. I've pasted the link at the bottom for redundancy's sake.
