Let it be known, a stone was thrown.

Let's imagine for a second, a stone is flying through the air aimed at a window, the rock hits, the glass shatters, and now whether done intentionally or accidentally another human must deal with the new hole in the architecture. When dealing with this broken window, do they hire someone to replace the window? Do they put tape and a trash bag and temporarily fix it? Do they decide to condemn the building and board up the window? This dilemma forces our choices based on necessity to the broken window given the means and context, but one solution never applies or is even accessible to all. There can be a vast distance between one's ‘means’ being their immediate economic situation, and the end being the reality of ‘fixing’ the window and ending the perception of violence. One's economic situation generally determines how the window is fixed but there is always a nuance that must be considered for an accurate and ethical truth to progress. Our various decisions with windows tell a story, whether cosmetic, functional, or quick-fixes. Broken windows embody an example of how humans keep modeling models indefinitely, but eventually must subject such processes to ethical evaluation.
