We all have vices, and while some of us are better at pretending we don't have them, or try to shine them up and make them look pretty, it doesn't change what they are.
You can polish up a turd, but at the end of the day, it's still a turd. It's the same for vices.
These vices or weaknesses can vary from person to person, and some of us have similar ones. Some are blatantly obvious, and others hide in the dark corners.
What would it be like if we all had to carry a sign, listing our three biggest weaknesses? Would we still judge others so harshly, when we know they can see our faults as well? Would we still try to polish them up?
Or, would we extend a hand of friendship and understanding? Would we seek the help of our friends and neighbors in overcoming our own weaknesses?
Would we, at the end of the day, be able to look each other in the eye, look past our faults, and see one another for who we are?
And in doing so, would we all not be so alone. I think so.
One of the worst side effects of polishing turds is you will just get poo all over you and stink. And the stench will create a distance between you and everyone else...and then you'll be alone.
So don't polish your turds. Okay? Okay.
