Broken identities.

We are all damaged goods.

None of us can really say we are normal. We all have our quirks and issues, there most definitely is something wrong with us. It could be apathy or trust issues, being a glutton for punishment or being overly sceptic. Or having great difficulties talking about oneself without seeming very smug.

This is why we seek out the shortcomings of others. We seek weakness that would console us, something that would make others not be better than us. Sure, all of us are not dealt the same cards, nobody is really equal. But just knowing that others are at least as messed up as you really let’s you know you are not an anomaly.

There is nobody perfect for anybody else. Just compatible mistakes. People who ignore the shortcomings or play them for strengths make good friends or life partners.

There is something in each of us that qualifies us for dismissal from a relationship as far as somebody is concerned. But we make do with what we got. We live our lives, some become someone really great, some become people we never want to meet again. But we continue to live our lives nevertheless, we find friends, create families, start new life. We are all damaged goods, but that is merely what we are, not what we do. And it is as general as saying we are all human.
