The brave
What a wonderful new concept, word, idea.
Much nicer than the word I have been meaning to look for, which means "to kill oneself with work" - Karōshi.
Then there is Wabi Sabi. Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect. Wiki: "If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."
And so we repair the past with gold, we practice kintsukuroi on our memories, accepting the fact that nothing will ever be perfect but that is no reason for not honouring our experience, through writing-singing-painting-dancing, to avoid Karoshi and create Wabi-Sabi.
I hope Scotland doesn't vote in favour of independence.

Very appealing.
I like this very much - "we practice kintsukuroi on our memories".
I just need to find some gold - what was it? Laquer?
I hope so too.
