We Are Cracked

This isn’t going to come as a shocking revelation to anybody, but I’m not perfect. No one is perfect. We all have flaws, cracks and rough spots. We all have our own mis-aligned thoughts, prejudices and judgements. 

Even those that seem like they have it all together or just have an aura of wisdom around them, are still flawed in some way. We can strive for perfection or righteousness, but we’ll never get there. 

In sports, athletes strive for the perfect game, but it's impossible. We might hear that someone had a perfect game or match, but that’s “near perfect”. I’ve made a lot of mistakes and I’ll keep making mistakes, say dumb things, post the wrong stuff because I’m not perfect. Neither are you. 

We need to burn down the pedestals we put people on. Just because someone can act, sing, take a good picture, excel at sports…whatever it is, doesn’t mean they deserve to be seen as higher than you. The elected, the rich, the famous…they are not more important. We are all flawed. We are broken.
