We often notice people in their flashpoints of brilliance, in those superb moments. Do we hold them to that standard of brilliance? Is that really and truly who they are? We must not be blind to the reality of who they are at their lowest moments and if we still respect and appreciate them at that point, the point where everything in them falters...in that decumbent state, can we still love them? If we can, then we love them entirely and not just that ideal that we've created for them in our own minds - one that they never could fully fit.
