It is OK to laugh at others ONLY if you can laugh at yourself, your faults, your imperfections first and be able to admit them.

It is all too easy not to see ourselves for who we truly are, especially when our seeming faults appear to be glaring...but more than likely, they're only glaring because of the spotlight we put on them.

...their relationship was a point of near-constant discussion in Night Vale, all of their imperfections and faults, which made them individuals worth loving. They had built those faults into the usual messy, comfortable, patched-up, beautiful structure that any functioning long-term relationship ended up being.

Immodest creature, you do not want a woman who will accept your faults, you want the one who pretends you are faultless – one who will caress the hand that strikes her and kiss the lips that lie to her."

(Letter, 17 June 1837)

My imperfections make me less mournable.

Every human being must be viewed according to what it is good for. For not one of us, no, not one, is perfect. And were we to love none who had imperfection, this world would be a desert for our love.
