Meaning
This points to practical resilience, the idea that impermanence is not only loss, but also a reason to be resourceful. It can be taken to mean that even when things break or end, something useful may remain if you think carefully. It lands when someone is trying to make do after disappointment, and needs a reminder that not everything has to be thrown away.
