Imperfect

We are all imperfect.

Some are more imperfect than others.

And our own personal imperfections run towards more specifics than others.

My imperfections will not necessarily be those of you or your friends or neighbors.

How do we recognize our imperfections? Or do we even acknowledge them, as we should?

Are we aware of our limitations, our personal "chinks in the armour"?

We all have them. We have different explanations or labels for them. Perhaps you know them as your "hot buttons." Perhaps you have many; luckily may you have few.

I have my own and they seem, to me, to be legion.

I have come to examine them now because, realizing that I suspect they are "legion," I must needs reel them in to a reasonable level. I am married now. I have made a commitment to my wife and this requires introspection and examination. By its very nature.

And a further question: having realized and acknowledged our mutual imperfections, how must we then factor "forgiveness" into the equation?

For an aggrieved party, an affront, can there, must there, be forgiveness? And on what level? And for what affront? Are there steps or levels?

And how would the one of most egregious, infidelity, factor into imperfection and forgiveness? Can there, should there, be forgiveness?

Introspection. Questions.

How does one deal with imperfection when it comes? And how must one apply forgiveness?
