— Augusten Burroughs (Magical Thinking: True Stories)
I never actually read this book but I have read parts of another one of his books. I have always had an attachment to this quote from the first moment I read it. I guess I feel like I relate.
I love how this quote is worded "flaws, stitched together with good intentions." Combining flaws to good intentions is just a more fascinating way to describe human characteristics.
No one is perfect but the strive to be is what counts. I feel like as a human being there is an understanding of imperfection but whatever those imperfections may be our actions are intended for well. This may not be the case for everyone but its definitely my hopes. Anyone who goals to intentionally harm or destruct someone/something is sickening. For me forgiveness can be justified to someone who genuinely means well but not so much for someone with cruel intentions.
