Kintsugi, emerging from Zen traditions, teaches that our wounds can be sources of meaning and resilience, urging a reevaluation of our relationship with perfectionism.
In the West, the relentless pursuit of perfectionism leads to standards that often clash with our true needs, fostering struggles with self-acceptance and inner peace.
Nothing in nature exemplifies perfection, yet societal pressures mislead us to believe we should pursue an unattainable ideal in every aspect of life, including our bodies.
The philosophy of kintsugi aligns with wabi-sabi, highlighting the beauty of impermanence and imperfection, ultimately advocating for a more compassionate view of ourselves.
