Healing is facilitated by the greater intelligence. You can call this intelligence 'nature,' 'God,' 'the Universe,' 'Spirit,' or 'the Self,' but regardless of what you refer to it as, it is this universal force that mends our broken bones, our broken hearts, and our broken spirits.
The fragile man feigns invulnerability by projecting a hard exterior. But much like glass or porcelain, something being hard does not mean that it's durable. All it would take is a fall from a decent height for what appears to be hard to shatter into a million pieces.
Years spent committed to convincing others of our invulnerability to pain can lead us to believe this falsehood ourselves, which, in turn, propels us toward self-destructive behaviors. Our disconnection from the reality of pain subconsciously drives us to seek ways to avoid confronting it.
