Be this person.

We need people who will accept the good in us despite our shortcomings, not reject the good in us because of them.  Still, do not long for this person; Be this person. 

Rejecting someone despite their great goodness says to them "your faults are far greater, still", but accepting a body despite his or her flaws says an edifying opposite: "You are lovable, and worth loving, in spite of your shortcomings". 

To others, and to yourself; Be this person.
