CHINA TORI

There is so much beauty in the world, but there is also so much brokenness.

For some people brokenness is manifest in the realm of relationships, for others it is present within their unrealized goals, their “dreams deferred”.

For certain people brokenness is experienced physically in the form of various health issues, while for others it is more psychological, exhibited for instance in a lack of self-confidence or perpetual confusion. Additionally, brokenness is manifest on a societal level in the forms of rampant poverty, bigotry, and war.

There are many people, even successful people (whatever that word means), who have the tendency to think of themselves as failures. Despite peak-moments wherein they experience real joy.

Most people are just going about their lives with a constant low-level sense of melancholy or depression.

Clarity seems hard to come by. Most people are walking around in a sort of existential daze with the overwhelming feeling that all decisions are daunting.

For many there appears to be a sense of confusion and ambiguity in terms of career, relationships, life path, and certainly regarding the question:

What is my true purpose and mission in this world?
