It has been almost 6 years since the first instance of a number of instances that destroyed my world and shattered me. In the last two years I've come to embrace this philosophy. The healing never really ends, the damage never fully repaired. I struggle to be empathetic, to have understanding, to be kind. The jagged pieces of cynicism and bitterness always close enough to cut. I think I am becoming a better person. The gold repairing my fractures are my friends, family and those who help me in my struggle. I will keep trying.

So ‘beautiful’ may be an accurate-but-incomplete translation. For the others reading, spirit of Kintsugi is bit closer to a combination of ‘charm’, ‘character’, and ‘elegance’—something to be cherished.
All of these things reflect a man who survived such a traumatic event. Wonderful post!!!!!

As I mentioned in my previous comments too, we feel sad when things happen to us and feel bad that why Universe had chosen me to give this pain while all other cousins, friends and family are having better lives. But when you see the problem and accept it and work on yourself, that gives immense pleasure. That GOLD cement that bind the pieces together is THAT perseverance, hard work, the belief and trust in the Universe that it gives you another 1000 reasons to be happy.
Fellow men, take care. Do not be afraid of doing the right thing and walk through hard times. Believe that Universe gave you troubles to make you tough.
