I don't think any of us are "broken". We still manage to "get by" even if its by "our own set of rules" and far from being "comfortable". Injuries are not comfortable either - and they force a person to adapt to doing things differently than others. That's why I choose to say we are injured. "Broken" to me implies no longer able to attempt to adapt. Even people deem "not able to function within society", are able to attempt to adapt to their personal situation. Someone who is broken - would need to be someone in a comatose state or vegetative state with absolutely no chance of recovery. Does that make sense?
