On Flaws

What are flaws anyway? I mean, you work through difficult emotions, work with your shadows and learn to shift your negative patterns.

Then, aren't flaws what others don't accept of me? Something that others define of me - from their perspective? Flaws aren't even about me. They stem from a sense of collective expectation. What if I work on myself, with being comfortable with those aspects that are considered flaws by society? Then isn't that a form of acceptance and perfection on my behalf?

In that case, flaws are traits that society considers unacceptable or okay. It is a collective concept.

When you work with the societal ideas of flaws within yourself, what are flaws even? If you work to be comfortable with yourself with the said flaws, aren't you free of them, then?

When it comes to me, flaws come in from a place of expectations from others. It comes from a place of improvement and progress. For instance, I would like to improve upon how I interact with people - so social connections. Even then, this is a skill and a matter of practice and not a flaw.

So then, what are flaws - when no one can use them against you? This only shows that humans are always a work in progress, with an inherent sense of already existing perfection.

Flaws stem from a place societal expectations. These expectations are imposed on individuals in society - to consider them acceptable or not.

Unfortunately, flaws also stem from labelling people and their characteristics - creating an outward identity for them. This dismisses the individual's true nature. However, when we are aware of the so-called flaws and act on our spirit despite their existence, we free ourselves from them.

This is where a sense of envy is created. 'These set of people do deserve this'. We base people on our unconsciously created hierarchy. Who's to say someone is better than the other? In what way? In what comparison?

Flaws are just another mental block. Just like other human limitations. Some focussing on your supposed flaws is simply controlling your and their experiences.  The more you progress to go beyond it, the more you do. And when you act despite the outward existence of your flaws, no one can use them against you.

No one knows you or your experiences the way you know them. Perfection is just another label.
