Self

Where's the line that is drawn between bettering yourself and changing who you are/should be? What should you be? Is there something we're meant to be that shouldn't be changed, or is it okay to transform? Is it all right to keep and even treasure the flaws that might very well be neutral characteristics that just happen to offend some? If I stop trying to change what can never be changed--the fact that I'm imperfect--will I think of others more kindly? When my frustration with myself fades, will it fade for those around me, too? To what extent is that giving up, losing my values, and being afraid of having standards?

Whatever I am, I think I'm tired of trying to make it different--at least for now.
