Brokenness: Subdued Completely

The English language is one of the most complex languages in the world. One word in the English language can have multiple spellings, multiple pronunciations, and multiple meanings.

Brokenness can have such an impact on a person, and can be taken in many different interpretations as a broken emotionally, a broken mentally, or broken spiritually.

Every man has had, or will have a broken heart once in his life. Every man feels that the special woman they spend all his time with is the one. The one he will marry.
