“It is wise to accept that (human faults) are inevitable.
Factor that in and keep going.”
Alice Walker
I think the happy people of the world understand that everyone has faults. They accept that all of us are imperfect beings. But they don’t accept that those things that make us less than perfect keep us from having a good life. What keeps us from good happy lives is the belief that where we are and what we do are permanent with no hope of change.
Yes, there are some things that cannot be changed and we have to accept that, do our best and move on. Without a doubt life is challenging and takes effort and energy to do our best. Sometimes our best is just taking the next step and then to keep on going.
Faults are a fact of life.
But they don’t have to be the main attraction.

Well said, Patricia! Your last 2 lines sum it up nicely.
Thank you ,ma am
Most welcome!
You make me think of the Maya Angelou quote…“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
I love Monday Musings. You really have the art for the economy of language. I strive to have it and just can’t whittle my words the way that you can. But you encourage me to keep trying.
Thank you once again for the encouragement. I like your way with words. You don’t write like me and I don’t write like you and that is as it should be. How boring if all writers sounded the same.
This is true. But I do admire your brevity. I’ve said it before, it’s as though you place every word with tweezers. 🙂
If you love someone then the faults are never the main attraction. Well said.
I’ll let you link to Awww Mondays if you wish.
Have a fabulous day and week, Patricia.
Thanks, Sandee.
I agree. When we love as women, we love big and take the whole package, even if it has a few threads.
You’ve said it so well Patricia;
Faults are a fact of life. But they don’t have to be the main attraction!!!!
Yep, it’s up to us what to decide what’s most important.
Indeed. 👍
