do you know what happens when you drop a china doll...it breaks...and when it first breaks the edges are clean...sharp...if care is taken...it can be repaired with little effort...good as new...hardly a repair line showing...but if no one loves the china doll...repairs are not made...it is swept aside or thrown away...and...with time...the edges dull...so when it is found it's not so easy to put it back together...the parts don't fit together so sharply...so cleanly...and why would anyone want to love a broken china doll...it's something that requires more love, more patience than normal...why would they love a broke china doll when you can go out and get a new one...one that doesn't require that kind of maintence...so every time the doll is found...it gets dropped again...more breaks develop...just more repairs...and soon the doll isn't even picked up...it's just thrown out...nobody wants a broken china doll...nobody loves a broken china doll
