I have to say, that is probably one of the best analogies for human imperfection I've heard. We start off with all the potential in the world and at some point something slips and a part of what we could have been is lost and it cannot be put back. But I think the greatest point made was that (and I apologize if I interpreted wrong) the flaws are what defines us and even though we may not be perfect, we are not necessarily of less worth than when we started.

I think that it goes on to be that there are two kinds of people in this world. The people who will see the flaws in the marble as something unique to that piece, something that in its imperfection can never again be recreated and something to be treasured for its individuality. Then there is everyone else who are attempting to hide their imperfections by finding perfection in someone else which will untimely never happen because no one, despite what we may believe, is perfect.

I know what I mean to say and I’m sorry if its not coming across the right way. But I understand what you said and agree. In terms of love, one can only learn to accept someone else once they have learned to see that imperfect person perfectly.

I think you've got it, it's a basic idea but based on your additions I think you've got the finer ideas as well. I also get what you're saying. Well done.
