Imperfections and Responsibility.

My sense of personal weaknesses and imperfections has caused me a lot of trouble in life. It’s even led to my losing many things of value. And when I bother to confide this unfortunate fact to the few other people I feel worthy of the knowledge, I always get the stock reply. They tell me that I can’t expect to be perfect because nobody is.

I know that, but it won’t do. Other people’s imperfections are their business. Mine are mine.
