Worn

tags: exhausted

Things wear out on frequent and unrestricted use. When they wear out, they are in the middle space, neither are they broken nor are they fully functional. Being worn means there is a handle with care sign generally put out. The sign is put out for the one who would still want to use the object. Sitting on a worn chair means that one has to be open to the dangers of falling. When we sit, and we sit without fear or without care, we are as if leaning on the chin. A relationship of trust can easily be traced between the user of the chair and the chair.

When we sit and sit with full trust, we sit as if the ground beneath our feet is not going to move or shake. We sit in reliance. Just as we stand in responsibility.

So sitting on a worn chair is not compatible with the idea of sitting at all.
