“He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.” - J.R.R. Tolkien

Decryption of quote

He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.

Imagine a curious soul, eager to unravel the mysteries of the world. In their pursuit of knowledge, they resort to breaking things apart, believing that by dissecting them, they will uncover their true essence.

However, in their quest for understanding, they fail to realize that by breaking something, they are destroying its original form and losing sight of its true purpose.

Wisdom lies not in destruction, but in preservation and appreciation of the beauty and complexity of the world around us.

It is through careful observation, contemplation, and respect for the natural order of things that true wisdom is gained.

Breaking things may provide temporary answers, but it is through a deeper understanding and connection with the world that lasting knowledge is acquired.

Wisdom is not found in the act of destruction, but in the act of creation and preservation.

By respecting the integrity of all things, we honor the interconnectedness of the universe and gain a deeper appreciation for the wonders of life.

So let us tread the path of wisdom with reverence and humility, cherishing the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
