These pots are exactly what have helped me to change how I view myself. Instead of seeing myself as broke, I now find it easier to except and appropriate that every crack gives me value. I am not broken, but I am better than new. I am beautiful, I am art.
Lol suppose I should go marry and divorce a couple of times. Have a few dozen kids with random women. Be involved do drugs and alcohol. Get myself into debt and become a homeless man with stds, I would be sooo beautiful.
Since I was a kid I've had this hobby of gluing broken pottery back together. It was like a puzzle, and the end result was even better. I'm glad this is an actual tradition!
I’ve been a conservator for over 30 years. I’m so thrilled to have found this sweet video as it is exactly how I feel about every item I bring back to life not only for the one that cherishes it , but also as a tribute to the artist that once created the piece. It’s an honor to have been given the precious gift of understanding that broken things and people have their own unique and admirable qualities.
That antique jar which looked even more beautiful after it was broken, reminded me of a very beloved friend of mine. He is also from Turkey but he is Kurdish. He got involved with politics at a very young age and soon he got himself into a lot of trouble. He was detained and tortured several times. If he didn't leave the country he was going to die in prison one day. You cannot imagine how an idealist, revolutionary young man in his twenties feels like a coward, feels so broken and humiliated, when he sees no other choice but to leave his country. But soon he put his pieces together. He began a new life in Germany, still being very active on the Kurdish cause. But he also learned German so well as to attend a university, while working on several day jobs to survive. Now he graduated as a social worker and he is helping many people here! What I really like about him is that he never romanticises what he had gone through. He sees himself neither as a victim nor as a hero. He did what he had to do and things took this turn, but he made the best out of it. Living in exile couldn't be more far from a " perfect ideal", but he is leading a meaningful and fulfilling life despite everything. If " breaks have philosophical merit" as Alain says so beautifully , my friend did integrate all those merits into his life. That's why I admire him deeply.
a video can trigger memories as can so much in life, no matter how well trained ones mind is. If you don't like the statements of others then scroll on. Wasting energy being rude and trying to tell people what they are and are not or what they have learned or not is a waste of your time and energy (which clearly would be better spent improving your own self, not picking upon others)
Imperfections, make the most beautiful creations. My mother took me to an art museum when I was very small and a bowl super cracked but beautiful held together caught my attention. and she explained to me what it was regarding Kintsugi and demonstrated to me, this is how God fixes us. And I've been in love with kintsugi ever since accepting myself in my mess
At first I thought to myself, "Really? A philosophical video on pots..?" but by the end of it, as Alain never fails to do, I was left with a joyous new sense of awareness and appreciation for the world.
What a beautifully thought-provoking video! I can really relate to this. After watching this video, my thoughts on the broken parts of my self have radically changed. They are not weaknesses. They are beautiful.
part of the wonder about Japanese Philosophy. We have all been through horrible traumas in our life, but they have brought us to where we are now. I have always thought that nothing is good nor bad but thinking makes it so. so think differently about the damage that has been done to you and me, and it becomes an asset!
those 4 minutes are the olden 4 minutes of my days, really cherish all seconds of them... i'm looking forward to the next 4 minutes of total happiness...
This piece on Kintsugi is a master piece... Joining The school of life is like joining the gold-en club..kudos to you.. the simplicity of your presentation - the kinder garten cute animation, the serene voice over, the minimal text,.. only kintsugi's rejuvenated vase is as good. thumbs up.
I feel like that video is one that is REALLY important (at least for me). Altough i had heard the concept already a long time ago when i studied and had a class on japanese asthetics, it was a much needed reminder. Thanks a lot.
+Jacob Carmichael Because you didn't live it. Just like old music was better, and chivalry was a good moral code, and life in the Belle Époque was soo much better. The real answer is, it wasn't. It was a life, with pros and cons, but objectively worse in many respects. However, it is in the hands of the concious to appreciate its own time when he lives it. To dwell on the past is the erroneous use of historical data and ancient knowledge. To apply it in the now is the right use of it.
having actually done some kintsugi on some of my raku bowls i can tell you that it requires a lot of focus and composure. i can honestly say it is deeply therapeutic. brilliant video. one of the best.
Aaah the 'patina' of life itself. Any object, myself included, has a history both good & bad, with proper restoration becomes useful & even beautiful again. Love old stuff since pre-teen days gone by...
I love how this philosophy essentially embraces and (to me) represents beauty in imperfection. It wasn't until the vase was changed from "damage" that he noticed it and found it remarkable. I find that very profound and beautiful.
This made me so strong . I was always devastated by not having a perfect upbringing but now i know that my mistakes made the person i am today . Alain i hope to meet you thank you for making my life better .
I loved this from the moment I first came across it. Brene Brown talks about it in her book - "we are worthy not in spite of our vulnerability but because of it".
WooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOW that was so good :) The School of Life, you did it. You are my favorite YT Channel now together with VSauce. Your videos have qualitiy in every single way. Thank you so much
Jallaladin Rumi, Avicenna, Averroes, Augustine, Ghazali, Confucius, Khayyam, Farabi and Buddha etc. Thanks for that eastern part of philosophy. Keep on please.
The effort you put into these videos and the quality of them.. You give us a fair bit of detailed information and make amazing animations to run alongside that. This is what originally made me interested in Philosophy! Very good, keep up the amazing work School of Life.
I think this also extends to how we favor a hero that first has to fall and suffer in fiction. We like seeing how suffering, a natural part of life, is overcome and as is shown in Kintsugi, not hidden or feared, but rather fully represented as a part of life, part of what gives it meaning and beauty.
Thank you school of life, from the bottom of my gold flaked heart. Please keep up the awesome work. You are litterally transforming my brain like these kintsugi artists!
U r so good in what u do just on May be not today even not tomorrow too but people will definately get enlighten by your philosophical classes in this worldwide 👍namaste🙏
I've been quite content to wallow in my self loathing after a medical problem took away my life and put me at square 1 again. Now this channel seeks to destroy my comfort in this zone and thrust me back into that heartless world again! Game on, nemesis!
This reminds me of Clint from the Avengers who "broke" as Hawkeye after he saw his family faded in dust when Thanos snapped, and he came back as Ronin, just like Kintsugi. That's also the Title concept art for Avengers 4, a bit broken, imperfect, showing that everything will come back, but the cracks are still there, to reminds us what has happened
+Nomaan Malick My thoughts exactly upon seeing the title on my home page. But I like to think that its great that singers of our time would exhibit old songs for us especially such pieces as the Kintsugi philosophy.
This is wonderful. Over the years I have tried repairing ceramics, sometimes succeeding wonderfully, other times failing. I'd really like to know how to do the special joining. There's a spoon rest that belonged to my dad's parents, that is now in four pieces.
i watched this video many times now but i still laugh almost to tears when that poor monk tries to enter and his temple but out of nothingness BOOM :D 1:03. This small bits of nice humor in your videos are always like little gems.
It's like Joseph Campbell saying that we love people for their flaws. Rather than hiding them, people should acknowledge their weaknesses so that they can get a better understanding of one another.
zen concepts are magnificent...as they marinate in our consciousness, they relinquish more and more realization when you least expect it, never while you seek it...rather than 'learning' in any traditional sense, the student must absorb zen via osmosis (as Alan Watts often said)...any other method will be blocked by the gate of one-up-man-ship ;)
The weathered swordsman stands proud in his battle scars. The beauty he personifies is the value that true freedom is worth. To choose and fight his own cause, to suffer the dangers of the warrior's path alone, to decide his own destiny rather then some warlord. The kintsugi of the samurai. Ronin.
+The School of Life; First of all, thanks for your reply, it's great to know that you guys actually read and appreciate all those comments. In contrary to a great portion of the reaction on your sexting video, I liked the message included and the meaning and appreciation of the ‘little’ things in life. But I belief that those ideas are mostly self-explanatory and mostly common sense. But the complicated and lesser known theories, like for example Hegel’s theory of the dialectic, have a greater need of explanation.

Anyhow, that’s of course just my opinion and the attempt to form some kind of constructive criticism. Keep up the amazing work!
+The School of Life Let us let the views decide? because clearly people like learning about philosophies history more than sex it's pretty obvious, we all get one is not greater than the other but don't act dumb.
+Max Hillebrand Hi there Max! I hope you're doing very well. I wanted to tell you why in my humble opinion those videos about sex are indeed extremely important. Take the one about the sexual fantasies of others for example. So there was this girl talking about her experiences with other girls and there was a woman who said that she would like to see two men making love etc. Well, if you are from a country where homosexuality is accepted, then this may not say anything to you. But imagine a teenager from Turkey, from a country where homosexuals are seen as sick, perverted sinners. If he happens to see this video, where just common people in another part of the world talk about homosexuality as something so normal and sane, it may even stop him from committing suicide! Unfortunately there is a high rate of teenagers killing themselves because of isolation and feelings of guilt for their sexual orientation in Turkey. As in many other parts of the world. So I just wanted to tell you that what may seem as common sense or superficial to you, may help someone else immensely or even save his life. One wise word you hear at the right time of your life can change the entire course of your life. I wish you all the best!
Once, I noticed that even flies clean their eyes and wings. I saw it many times before until only recently I realised the importance of fighting chaos and to preserve some consistency as life is merely an aberration: in the end the temporary arrangement will not prevail. Our duty to preserve our existence to the best of our ability is reflected in the care it takes to put back together the pieces of a broken pot. Using gold means victory of life and order over death and chaos and annihilation..
I love how this video related to your previous one on Wabi-Sabi. It made me extremely excited to recognise the term when used on this great video. Keep up the teaching, you make adults feel like primary school children on the first day of school!
Thank you once again! I wonder how Alain (or the SoL team) go about researching and preparing for a video, I'd love to know the process. :) p.s. I'd love to see a video about Ramana Maharshi one day!
These pots are exactly what have helped me to change how I view myself. Instead of seeing myself as broke, I now find it easier to except and appropriate that every crack gives me value. I am not broken, but I am better than new. I am beautiful, I am art.
That is indeed something everyone can Aspire to
wow, just wow. *SMH*
Lol suppose I should go marry and divorce a couple of times. Have a few dozen kids with random women. Be involved do drugs and alcohol. Get myself into debt and become a homeless man with stds, I would be sooo beautiful.
And so modest !
@@touxiong519 That absolutely senseless comment says everything about you. It is not in the least bit flattering on your part.

Thank you for sharing that...
"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain." Khalil gibran
This is very true.
Odd, I've always found the opposite to be true.
Only people who've experienced sickness tend to appreciate wellness. If you haven't been there, wellness is simply "normal".
Love KG. His mind is so beautiful..as his spirit.
I'm no poet.....but that is a true thing.
the narrator voice is so calm and smooth ,I love it
Alain de Botton :)
I love him!!!!
Watch his TED talks too.
I find this thought really beautiful. Everyone have scars and broken parts, and the result of fixing up them is even better than perfect.
That antique jar which looked even more beautiful after it was broken, reminded me of a very beloved friend of mine. He is also from Turkey but he is Kurdish. He got involved with politics at a very young age and soon he got himself into a lot of trouble. He was detained and tortured several times.

He did what he had to do and things took this turn, but he made the best out of it. Living in exile couldn't be more far from a " perfect ideal", but he is leading a meaningful and fulfilling life despite everything.
If " breaks have philosophical merit" as Alain says so beautifully , my friend did integrate all those merits into his life. That's why I admire him deeply.

Peace to you and your friend.
Thank you for sharing his story.
Lol nice story. The broken pot is still broken water spilled is still spilled.

***** aight calm down bud
*sprays troll away* :P
*yawns*
Same goes for the movie dominion
theory and practice are different things. You have psychologists and psychotherapist who know it all in theory, yet their lives are falling apart
those 4 minutes are the olden 4 minutes of my days, really cherish all seconds of them... i'm looking forward to the next 4 minutes of total happiness...
I can sum this philosophy up in three words: Imperfection, is perfection.
This piece on Kintsugi is a master piece... Joining The school of life is like joining the gold-en club..kudos to you..
the simplicity of your presentation - the kinder garten cute animation, the serene voice over, the minimal text,..
only kintsugi's rejuvenated vase is as good. thumbs up.
Just when I thought I was having a bad day, this comes up. Eastern philosophy never ceases to amaze me.
This touched my heart and now I'm writing this in tears. I'll carry this with me.
I feel like that video is one that is REALLY important (at least for me). Altough i had heard the concept already a long time ago when i studied and had a class on japanese asthetics, it was a much needed reminder. Thanks a lot.
such school
much life
wow
Why is it that Ancient Japanese life seems so much more appealing than our modern society?
For me it's a quality of finding peace in chaos that appeals to me.
+BigHenFor Also a sense of freedom despite being controlled or restrained
+Jacob Carmichael Because you didn't live it. Just like old music was better, and chivalry was a good moral code, and life in the Belle Époque was soo much better.

Personally I don't love the idea of institutionalized classism. Or not having flush toilets.
Bruh!!
when i repair myself, i'll cherish the pieces sown together far more than if i was born a perfect whole. thank you
I loved this subject when Nerdwriter covered it. I'm glad to hear it from you too. Excellent
having actually done some kintsugi on some of my raku bowls i can tell you that it requires a lot of focus and composure. i can honestly say it is deeply therapeutic. brilliant video. one of the best.
This is one of the best videos on this channel.
Thank you for all the insights.
Why do I love you so much ? :) The only RUclips channel I check daily for updates...
Aaah the 'patina' of life itself. Any object, myself included, has a history both good & bad, with proper restoration becomes useful & even beautiful again. Love old stuff since pre-teen days gone by...

Probably the best school of life video I've seen so far.
This made me so strong . I was always devastated by not having a perfect upbringing but now i know that my mistakes made the person i am today . Alain i hope to meet you thank you for making my life better .
Thank you, really, I've been promoting this idea to my friends for almost a year!

Wow! This is the most inspiring thing I have seen in a long time. It is helping me to rethink perfectionism!
This is very though provoking, reminding us all of our vulnerability & brokenness
KNOT BROKEN. BEAUTIFUL
An awesome talk and a broad application! Love the principles taught.
The Damage Done is golden trails of perfection
this is the best channel on youtube
Beautiful, once again The School Of Life thank you!
Jesus f*n Christ, i love this channel. It makes everything look easy, simple, and easy to understand!
Absolutely beautiful! School of Life you are my favourite youtube channel. You never fail to make my day

This is beautiful, this idea can also give us permission to spend more money on crockery. This is the antidote to the throw away society.
Alain you make my mind feel so beautiful
already love this series. first video i've seen of it. just discovered this channel about a week ago.
What a great message for the time of Lent in the Christian Catholic and Orthodox traditions. Perfect message for it.
U r so good in what u do just on May be not today even not tomorrow too but people will definately get enlighten by your philosophical classes in this worldwide 👍namaste🙏

Awesome work! Thank you The School of Life!
Thank you for this excellent lesson. It gave me the answer to a long standing question.
The Joy of Eastern Philosophy!
That was a beautiful and wonderfully encouraging message
At this moment I realised that I have been practicing KINTSUGI with my life all along... That is some deep philosophy worth watching...
Aesthetics at its utmost definition!
Such a beautiful philosophy. Thank you for sharing

You really do have a talent for making me cry at each one of your videos :'(
Keep it the good work ;)
A reminder of things imperishable and our human nature at the same time.
Ah well, Nerdwriter1 did a video about Kintsugi a long time ago but this is good too.

Haven't you done this video twice already? It's worth returning to though, it's a beautiful practice and an excellent metaphor
***** Ah, that's it. Thanks for clarifying :)
Thank you. A very educational story.
This is wonderful. Over the years I have tried repairing ceramics, sometimes succeeding wonderfully, other times failing. I'd really like to know how to do the special joining. There's a spoon rest that belonged to my dad's parents, that is now in four pieces.
So significant and special.
i watched this video many times now but i still laugh almost to tears when that poor monk tries to enter and his temple but out of nothingness BOOM :D 1:03.
This small bits of nice humor in your videos are always like little gems.
love it. I truly admire your way of expressing yourself. Keep the good work up.
Aaaaaawwwww, Man! That was BEAUTIFUL! First rate, guys!
Recently heard about this from the last DCFC album. It's cool to learn more about it.
It's like Joseph Campbell saying that we love people for their flaws. Rather than hiding them, people should acknowledge their weaknesses so that they can get a better understanding of one another.
Stunning Presentation! Thank you
zen concepts are magnificent...as they marinate in our consciousness, they relinquish more and more realization when you least expect it, never while you seek it...rather than 'learning' in any traditional sense, the student must absorb zen via osmosis (as Alan Watts often said)...any other method will be blocked by the gate of one-up-man-ship ;)

Japanese nail so many things so perfectly!
Finally a true School of Life video again!
+The School of Life;
First of all, thanks for your reply, it's great to know that you guys
actually read and appreciate all those comments.
In contrary to a great portion of the reaction on your sexting video, I
liked the message included and the meaning and appreciation of the ‘little’
things in life. But I belief that those ideas are mostly self-explanatory and mostly
common sense. But the complicated and lesser known theories, like for example
Hegel’s theory of the dialectic, have a greater need of explanation. So what I’m
suggesting is not that those ‘other’ videos are bad in any shape or form, but
that your creative power should - in my humble opinion and of course with the greatest
politeness - be concentrated on the more ‘complex’ topics.
Anyhow, that’s of course just my opinion and the attempt to form some kind of
constructive criticism.
Keep up the amazing work!
+The School of Life Let us let the views decide? because clearly people like learning about philosophies history more than sex it's pretty obvious, we all get one is not greater than the other but don't act dumb.

Kintsugi reminds me of artists' glorification of suffering, which might be true! Let's break ourselves and hope the cracks get filled in with gold!
Wow, this video is amazing. Love it.
this video makes me smile
Such analogies can help us to formulate our perspectives and From an aesthetic perspective, my Caesarean Scar is a "kintsugi" love you My Isabella ❤
A wonderful concept in an age obsessed with outer perfection.
Once, I noticed that even flies clean their eyes and wings. I saw it many times before until only recently I realised the importance of fighting chaos and to preserve some consistency as life is merely an aberration: in the end the temporary arrangement will not prevail.
Our duty to preserve our existence to the best of our ability is reflected in the care it takes to put back together the pieces of a broken pot. Using gold means victory of life and order over death and chaos and annihilation..
One of my favourites 🇦🇺
I love how this video related to your previous one on Wabi-Sabi. It made me extremely excited to recognise the term when used on this great video. Keep up the teaching, you make adults feel like primary school children on the first day of school!
what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. hardship tempers one's soul.
This is beautiful
What I really wanna know is how they managed to *staple* a ceramic bowl without breaking it further
Butterfly stitches
Thank you once again! I wonder how Alain (or the SoL team) go about researching and preparing for a video, I'd love to know the process. :)
p.s. I'd love to see a video about Ramana Maharshi one day!
Interesting perceptional expression. Better than being wasteful also. Respect!
Bravo, tutti bene Shool of Life...
Oh, now that was beautiful
I love this video so much, thank you.
I really love it 😍
your videos help me when life doesn't go like how I have planned it.
Be like water my friends
