Miniature: Finding Someone

You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. – Sam Keen

“We come to love not by finding a perfect person but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”

It starts by saying we don’t come to love, or fall into love, because we have found a perfect person. After all, we are all humans, and therefore, all quite a bit shy of perfect. At least everyone I know is that way.

The quote concludes by saying that instead, we come, or fall into, love by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. You see the flaws, and you see them clearly. But we love them anyway.

When we are infatuated, we often miss the flaws, but by the time we are well and truly in love, we have cleared our eyes, and are seeing them for the human they are. Flaws and all, yet we love them none the less.

Nobody is perfect, we all have our flaws. Our flaws make us special, our flaws make us human, our flaws make us who we are. Find someone who loves your flaws as much as they love you.
