Interesting Stuff Scars are beautiful - The main idea from this essay is that scars, or imperfections and failures have value. I don’t agree with the author that it’s society’s fault that we don’t appreciate scars, though. The desire for everything, especially objects to remain perfect and unblemished is because we’re using them as a store of value. Sadly, when we don’t have a good store of value, we use everything as a store of value and that means it has to be like new. Once you get out of that fiat mentality, scars, imperfections, etc, all become signs of use, signs of something that it’s fulfilled its intended function. And that is beautiful.
