A cup once broken cannot be mended. True. Try what may, you can never get back the original cup. Attach however you please, it will be unfit for further use (as a cup).
But, an attached cup has a lot of significance.
For one, it is important enough for someone to collect the shattered pieces and attach them.
It is the existence of the cup that is given a higher priority, not for its use (as it is rendered unusable).
Its value as an object increases manifold.
And more oft than not, it gets shifted from the kitchen cupboard to the showcase [:)] (though, that is not to showcase the importance of the cup, but the handiwork of your glue).
So, a broken and attached cup should not be discarded as useless. Someone actually put it back together. It means something to someone. That must be respected, shouldn't it?

ReplyDeleteFalse. True. False. :P
A cup once broken may be mended. And, you can use it as a cup, if it was sufficiently mended. (See, a theory can be disproved by showing one counter example, however, it can never be proved.)

Probably the best lines in your whole blog till now. Awesome. :bow:
A nice finish with "It means something to someone."
