Being Flawed Is Not a Flaw

Just a thought I had in response to a conversation last night about relationship baggage and issues and after today hearing a radio personality saying, “There are no heroes; everyone is flawed,” while discussing the firing of Joe Paterno. We still must deal with the flaws and shouldn’t embrace or like them, but they don’t negate a person’s worth. It’s an immutable fact of existence that we are somewhat defined by our mistakes, finiteness, irrationality, insecurities, anxieties, apathies, and unhealthy patterns, but that doesn’t mean we’re not also valuable, lovable, estimable, and heroic.
