Recently I watched a chinese show.

In this show, Guy A falls for Girl B who is crippled. The reason why Guy A fell for her is because he felt like a gentleman whenever he is with her - being able to protect her, helping her out in her daily activities etc…

In the end, Girl B asked Guy A if he would have loved her if she had not been handicapped.

It was then that Guy A realised that what he loved was girl B’s imperfection, instead of his partner as a person… …

A few months ago, I asked my friends this question. Would you rather select someone who is a 100% good person but only loves you 70%, or would you select one who loves you 100%, but is only a 70% good person? Most of them chose the latter. The reason they gave was that they are imperfect themselves. Why choose someone who is perfect?

In life, we may end up selecting another person who is imperfect. For example, some girls like to date “bad guys” because they hope that they will be able to change him. Some gorgeous babes dated guys whose looks are extremely incompatible with theirs. Some deliberately marry those of a much lower education level or low income.

Some have attributed this phenomena of “Loving imperfection” to that of self fulfilling egoistic prophecies. By being together with an imperfect person, you can realise how perfect you are.

“You may start off with a piece of raw and unslightly wood. But with the appropriate time and effort, you can carve it into a beautiful masterpiece.” You may have started off with a person with many flaws. But if you love him/her with all your heart, you can get perfect love out from imperfection.

Here is wishing you a perfect love life!
