Summary

This quote highlights human nature's tendency to focus on flaws and imperfections rather than appreciating perfection. It suggests that we have a natural inclination to seek out weaknesses and criticize, possibly due to our desire for improvement. This inclination also reflects our tendency to notice and remember negative experiences more readily than positive ones. Thus, the quote emphasizes our inherent bias towards faults and the need for conscious effort to shift our perspective towards recognizing and celebrating perfection as well.

I am unbreakable.
