Humpty Dumpty

How much effort would it take to put Humpty Dumpty back together again? A good few hours, days, weeks? Perhaps super glue and duct tape will work. But there is something that all the glue in the world could not piece back together again. His soul. His essence. His chi. His life force. His motivation. Or however you prefer to call the invisible clockwork inside everybody. The invisible force that propels us. Once that's broken, there's no returning back to the good ol' days. When this happens, something changes inside you. Something powerful in you starts to decline, your sense of superiority dwindles to an immeasurable amount. It's all of the world's horrible events wrapped into one convenient punch. The Holocaust, The Opium War along with The Arrow War, The Great Depression, WWI and WWII. All at once without a warning, without delay. My body has struggled to contain the endless pain, but it's slowly leaking through the cracks in my shell. How much effort would it take to put me back together again?
