I think maybe it is, gw. It certainly provokes thought.

How I wish I had imperfections... being perfect is so tiresome... hang about... is that my imperfection? (Okay...who said ‘one of many?’). In truth, I’ve often said that if we learn from our mistakes, most of us should be geniuses (er... genii). A profound write, Milt. Terry

Thanks, Terry. Everything you said in your comment is true, except maybe "profound write!"

Thought-provoking and very profound Monoku, better for us to focus on our imperfection because perfection is for angels.

I for you am always acknowledging my imperfections – wishing I didn't any! / Maurice

Good point, Maurice. I hope I am able to recognize my imperfections and try to improve upon them. I have many, by the way.
