Flawed

We see being Flawed as a strength. If you make a mistake, you learn from it. If you never make a mistake, you’re never the wiser”.

These so-called perfect leaders we have now had never made a mistake. How can they have learned what’s right and wrong, how could they have learned anything about themselves? About what they feel comfortable doing, about what they feel is beyond the scope of their character? The more mistake you have made, the more you have learned.

I just read this book and it’s stuck with me. It’s about a society where anyone deemed to be less than perfect gets branded as flawed and has to live as an outcast. It’s a brilliantly written book that’s left me feeling a bit unsettled, to be honest.
Celestine lives a perfect life as a model daughter and sister, she’s well-liked by her classmates and teacher’s and she’s dating the impossibly charming Art. But celestine encounters a situation in which she makes an instinctive decision, and then she faces the life-changing repercussions. After completing this book I realized when a young woman takes a stand that could cost her everything.

If there’s one message that I hope this book portrays, it’s this: None of us are perfect, let us not pretend that we’re. Let us not be afraid that we’re not. let us not label others and pretend we are not the same. Let us all know that to be human is to be “Flawed”, and let us learn from every mistake made so that we don’t make them again.

One of my favorite Quote from this book is:
“Never trust a man who sits, uninvited, at the head of the table in another man’s home.”

Thankyou for reading.
