You can’t control how the vase breaks.
The breaking is sudden and explosive.
It probably shouldn’t have been so close to the edge. Playing volleyball in the vicinity wasn’t a good idea. And not many things that fall from that high up onto a concrete floor are going to survive anyway.
The pieces are scattered far and wide.
Now it’s time to decide whether to put the vase back together or buy a new one.
Metaphorically speaking.
