'We boast the faults we are unwilling to correct.' -Francois de La Rochefoucauld
This to me is a powerful quote because it operates at the core of who we are. This was the 'quote of the day' one day on askmen.com . We only reveal so much of ourselves to friends, family and spouses reserving certain flaws and faults in us to known only by us with hope of improvement.These are the faults about ourselves we long to improve, a "secret project" if you will. But it's funny how often we reveal flaws in what appears to be a shameless fashion. Have we given up on these faults of ours and have decided to wear them as a badge due to lack of self control or lack of conviction? You could be guilty of embracing being judgmental, vain, greedy etc. Regardless despite willing to reveal the flaws we are unwillingly to accountable for these imperfections which we all have. I believe accountability is the best treatment to tend to weeds in the lawn of your life. The question we have to ask ourselves is how much do you mind weeds?
