Yes, I know you<\/em> know people aren’t perfect.<\/p>\n

Well, except when\u00a0they criticize you.<\/p>\n

Then\u00a0they magically become Perfect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Otherwise you would not forget that they may currently be in a bad mood.<\/p>\n

Or afraid they may be next to be criticized.<\/p>\n

Or just had a fight at home.<\/p>\n

Or…<\/p>\n

Well you get the idea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are they always<\/strong> astute and neutral in every<\/strong> evaluation of you?<\/p>\n

Again, you get the point. Right?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

People are not perfect even when they criticize, mock or deride you by words or looks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next time you validate someone (ie: defend yourself or feel bad), realize you<\/span> are the one who just made that person Perfect.<\/p>\n
