Summary

This quote highlights the common tendency for people to idealize and romanticize their loved ones, believing that they possess some form of perfection. This preoccupation stems from our desire to see the best in those we care about, often overlooking their flaws and imperfections. However, the quote suggests that this preconceived notion of perfection is an illusion as nobody is flawless. It serves as a reminder that we should embrace the imperfections of our loved ones and accept them as they are, rather than placing unrealistic expectations on them.
