Value authenticity over superficial perfection from "summary" of Wabi Sabi by Beth Kempton
To truly embrace the philosophy of wabi sabi is to understand the beauty in imperfection, in impermanence, in asymmetry. It is about cherishing authenticity over superficial perfection. In a world that often values flawless surfaces and flawless appearances, wabi sabi teaches us to look beyond the obvious and appreciate the inherent beauty in the flawed, the weathered, the worn.
When we prioritize authenticity, we are able to see the richness and depth that comes with age and experience. A chipped teacup, a cracked vase, these are not signs of failure or inadequacy, but rather symbols of a life well-lived. They tell a story of resilience, of endurance, of the passage of time. In our quest for perfection, we often overlook the beauty that comes with imperfection. We are so focused on smoothing out the rough edges, on covering up the cracks, that we fail to see the unique character that comes with age and wear.
