Here today lies in our presence, a chair that once stood dignified and sturdy. I personally find it difficult to look at what is now a shattered life- shattered dreams- and not see... umm... the ringing symboligy of the life of modern-day coorporations. In the early years, a business is planted into the legal system of the public in which it will grow for many years until it has anchored its roots and hardend its wood. The corporation will then take the fruits of its hard work and mold it into whatever they may wish. Much time will be spent carving, measuring, sanding, gluing, and nailing until the day come they will be able to rest in the arms of their handcrafted structure. It is regularly stained, polished, and buffed to maintain its prestine appearance. Decades will pass and many will be served and comforted in the arms of the business- many people indeed. But alas, a day will come when the internal structure begins to fail. For some it will come slowly- for others too quick to see, but all will be left with nothing in the end but the change in their pocket which had not fallen out. But even the fallen change may easily be picked up and the defensless chair lay in ruins. From what they have gained from this chair, the chair is no longer needed, and the occupants skip away while everyone in the structure is left for ruins.

Things are not made as they once were sturdy enough to test the limits of time, but based on the circumstances of the life of the chair, perhaps it was just the chair's time to break. Perhaps a little boy jumped on that chair over and again, and he balanced it on it's two back legs over and over again until he fell backward on it and it broke, or perhaps the indivdual who made the chair made it out of several pieces of wood instead of one piece or an unsturdy type of wood. The possibilities are endless.

A broken chair isn't.

His heart is broken as well as the chair he sits on day to day.

all things are impermanent and empty of inherent existence. The form of the chair will change a thousand times, will break, and change a thousand more times. Only the soul is permanent.

A society, like a four legged chair, can not stand for very long on only three good legs.

Fix the chair and the meetings work better.

If you sit in a broken chair you deserve the downfall.

"This chair is broken".
The unadulterated truth is the deepest most philosophical thing you can say about anything.
