What a strange expression. Does this mean to truly appreciate how good my car is I must drive it into a tree and wreck it?

- pluma 12y agoI think it's more along the lines of "to truly appreciate how good your car is you must drive one that is a lot worse".
- stcredzero 12y agoNo. I'm thinking more along the lines of stuff that happened to members of my family and their friends in Korea under the Japanese occupation. Yours is indeed a first world perspective. To borrow your phrase: "To truly appreciate how good your life is, you must first 'drive' one that is a lot worse."
- stcredzero 12y agoIf you drove your car into a tree and became paralyzed, you might become much kinder from a firsthand understanding of deep suffering. (You might also become angry and bitter. You might even do both these things at the same time!)
