Quote of the Day

"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues." - Abraham Lincoln

This quote, for the most part, speaks for itself. However, I personally believe that this speaks to the complexity of us as human beings. We are always condemning ourselves and others for our vices, but these vices in essence are what makes us dynamic human beings. We are fallible and probably meant to be that way. If we were meant to be perfect than we would probably be pointless. We must embrace our character flaws in order to be whole. Also, I believe that this speaks to our modern day epidemic of overzealous political correctness. We are expected to be perfect but at the expense of our uniqueness and true selves. We are becoming a bland lot.
