This is a short piece I came across and is something that rings very true for me, so I thought I would share....
"I must learn to love the fool in me—the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, lacks self-control, loves and hates, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility and dignity, but for my fool." ~
Dr. Theodore I. Rubin
