A flawed me, A flawed us, A flawed world

In dictionary, flawed is described as a person having weakness in character.
 Then as per this definition, we all are flawed...isn't? what I fail to understand here is what a weak character actually is …a person who is undergoing an emotional turmoil..would he be casted as weak? A person who wears his heart on his sleeves and gives himself to someone quickly..is he weak? oh no no..a heart broken individual who just cannot cope up with anything in life..i am sure that person qualifies as being  weak !!
How weird we humans are…those eyes which god created to admire the most beautiful things judge people so quickly ..in just a blink. Just pause for a moment and give it a thought to why that girl with cakes of makeup and those clothes shouting for attention, why that guy is always hiding behind his computer screen and denies to go out to have fun, why ‘she’ is all so careless, carefree and doesn’t give a damn to anything in life…..too many “whys” which deserves all the “that’s why”.
Its so sad and disheartening a process to see when two individuals meet, share their lives, emotions  and bodies take a wrong road and starts to judge one another. How everything changes overnight and all the admiration turns into complaints , cynicism..and takes shape of strong apprehension. Then, both individuals pack up all their emotions, life events and broken pieces of heart in their respective boxes and move ahead in life. They, for sure moves on but what really happens to this heavy box …well, sometimes it never opens up again or sometimes it is made a little lighter by throwing a few stuff out ……does this change those individuals? Yes it does!!   Their journey ends with the road being forked in two…she turns left  and he does right by turning right…
We all learn and unlearn things. Sometimes to be a better person, sometimes to grow over the past, sometimes to fit in the crowd and sometimes just coz it’s the need of the hour. And this, in my view is nothing but growing in life …be it good or bad but it happens with all of us. The changes govern the change in us and eventually become our identity which we should never lose for anyone. Care to explain but never justify these changes to anyone in life because its your and only your road alone which has brought you to where you are today.
So you, my friend are not flawed….the eyes that see you and perceives you, the brain that judges you and misinterprets your words….sadly they are flawed and highly imperfect.
