Damaged. What does that even mean? What is damaged to a dictionary? Harm or injury to property or a person, resulting in loss of value or the impairment of usefulness (thefreedictionary.com). Could someone have summed it up better? Damaged like a vase. A glass vase that has been shattered on the floor. Now the pieces are left there to damaged something else. Is that not what usually happens? What has been damaged cannot just be fixed? If not why can it not be left alone to be damaged then? Why does it have to continue to cause damage to other things? Some of those things were perfect and fine. Some of those things were rare and precious. Some of those things were good and lovely. Now they are damaged and ugly. Now they are broken and disgraced. Now they are cursed and devalued. Though that is only what it has become and is viewed as, but maybe it is not the subject that is, maybe instead it is the verb. Damage is ugly. Damage is broken. Damage is disgraced. Damage is cursed. Damaged is devalued. Why do we not hold on to the subject and let it know that it is not the thing that is looked down upon, but instead it is the Damage that is receiving the shaking heads. Why do we not seem to care? Why do we not blame the action? Why blame the subject all the time? Damage has no feelings, the subject does.
