It seems you and I have similar interests in finding meaning in the world around us. This post particularly strikes a chord with me because of how true it is! There is no knowing what scars someone has, what battles they’ve endured, or what sorrows befall them in this life. Having faced some big trials in my life, I appreciated the point you made of the potato still being useable. When grieving life before trauma, it’s difficult to want to live for oneself, let alone serving others. When we allow Christ to use us as his disciples to love one another, our wounds will be healed, and we will realize our potential. We will continue to bear the scar of pains being plucked from us, but our flaws may cease to spread.
