It seems to me that to be always partly broken is to be also ALWAYS PARTLY OPEN to a greater mystery-even if I haven't always got a clue.

Mimesis (Imitation) and Scapegoating in ALWAYS PARTLY BROKEN

By
  Initially, identifying violent mimesis in ourselves can be a scary or a depressing thing: “You mean I was involved in this violent thinking and acting and didn’t know it?” And we may at first be unwilling to see it. “No! I was never Cain! I was always Abel, the good guy, the victim of the situation and the bearer of outrageous fortune .”
