What happens when a glass is broken? The pieces are everywhere and it gets messy, untidy, dirty, dangerous. But it also has other effects such as disorganisation, and lack of order. Without structure an environment is unsettling and there is adverse effect on people. Our mind, our environment and events around us impact our wellbeing and therefore need to be noticed and looked after. If we imagine the world around us as fragile as a glass, once the glass is broken, it needs time to be replaced by a new glass. It needs help to be restructured, and it needs our effort to sort out the mess it creates.
Our life can not go on without fragile glasses and broken pieces. We learn throughout our life that we need to heal our broken glasses, we need to replace them with new ones. We need to introduce new glasses and we need to protect these glasses.
Our community is the similar to an individual since when there is disorder, there is a need to put things right. Overall our society needs to heal from broken glasses. When people create disorder, this results in having an environment that produces more disorder. There is a need to put things right and to control and manage environments to have a more orderly society.
Generally our way of thinking is impacted by people around us and they can influence us. Broken glass is about the condition it creates for people thinking and interacting with one another, as well as the environment. It is important to know that there are certain experiences that should not be tried. For example certain life experiences can have detrimental effect on individuals and others around them, therefore making sure that there are preventive measures in place so that these are not tried and tested by individuals in society is very important. Sometimes a broken glass can be replaced and there are times that this is not possible. This is true in both micro and macro level in society. Therefore pre-emption by law and order, as well as educating society to implement these pre-emptive measures is very important.
