- I disagree with this point of view. I don't know whether it is
- possible to find the "perfect person" for you. The main thing that
- troubles me is that you start talking about some "flaw" in the
- person that makes it impossible. Tell me... WHat is a "flaw" in a person? Is
- it a "Flaw" that allowed a person to be "raped"? Is it a "Flaw" that a
- person holds a pen in their left hand rather than their right? Is it a
- "flaw" that makes a person get angry because when they were young,
- their dad hit them? I disagree with your premise that whoever you meet
- has a "flaw"... That "flaw" is part of that person. And I don't think
- it is a "flaw" at all. Do You think you are "Flawed"? If so why?
-
- Why look at thing you call "flaws" as mistakes? Why not look
- at them as being a part of the person that you didn't know or didn't
- expect? No one can completely know another person, I don't think but
- that doesn't mean that a person can't learn about another person. I
- think that if you view life the way you present it in this manner that
- you are limiting the number of great people that do exist.
-
- This is not to say that some people don't have problems. Name
- one person you know that doesn't. and I'll show you a person that
- either handles their problems well or ignors his problems (which is
- bad).
- Even I have problems. But it's how we as humans deal with our problems
- that determines whether we are a success or not..
