"There are no perfect human beings! Persons can be found who are good, very good indeed, in fact, great. There do in fact exist creators, seers, sages, saints, shakers, and movers...even if they are uncommon and do not come by the dozen. And yet these very same people can at times be boring, irritating, petulant, selfish, angry, or depressed. To avoid disillusionment with human nature, we must first give up our illusions about it."
~ Abraham Maslow, 20th century humanistic psychologist from Motivation & Personality
As Rumi reminds us, "There is no worse sickness for the soul, o you who are proud, than this pretense of perfection.”
No one's perfect.
So, I guess that means we can quit pretending to be!
Here's to our imperfection en route to self-actualization.
