In James Radcliffe’s “Everything is Broken” blog post, he discusses the Japanese philosophy of ‘Kintsugi’.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing cracked objects with gold.

Objects that were deemed broken beyond repair;

Instead of being discarded, gold, considered the most valuable asset in the world, was used to repair them.

As you know, gold is finite and is in limited supply.

I venture to say that the most valuable asset in the world is not gold, but love.

And love is infinite and is an unlimited resource that we all have access to.

Love is the gold that fills the cracks in people’s lives.

When it does, people who were thought broken are repaired.

To all the people who are the “Gold” that fills the cracks in other people’s lives – I salute you.

You are the most valuable asset in the world.
