We always ask ourselves: Why are we broken and why are we so down? Why are we destined for sadness to squeeze our hearts? And how do some moments and feelings manage to extinguish our soul in this way? We often ask: Why me? Or why were we subjected to these experiences? But seldom do we ask the one question we have to ask: What are these experiences trying to teach us?
We often forget that breaking is an opportunity for a new resurrection, an opportunity to rewrite our destiny in the way we wish, as Jalal al-Din al-Rumi said: “The crack is the place from which light enters.” Broken souls are enlightened souls.
