I sometimes struggle to understand that even when people aren't good enough, many of them are on some sort of an inner journey along the right path. In any case it is the world that's to blame, not the individuals who live in it who are just doing their best to survive. We need to turn off the machine instead of shouting at cogs. When people represent something clearly awful it's very tempting to jump down their throats, but those people aren't the enemy. They're just the carriers of the virus. One of my most important flaws is failing to act that principle.
Everything else isn't really a "flaw". Like, my anxiety isn't because it's an important part of who I am and to hate it would be to hate myself. My anxiety gives me energy and passion that comes out in weird bursts that keep me real. It's fucking beautiful.
what would you say is your biggest flaw?
