I was watching an episode of Brothers & Sisters last night and one of the characters said :
"You don't love people because they are perfect.....you love them because they are"
And I don't know if it was the time (late at night) or the feeling or something but I found it expressing in just a few words perfectly what it would take me several pages to explain or express.
Because indeed we love people with their faults, we love them when they let us down, we love them when they are less than what we expected or hoped. But we love them......because they exist, they are. And that existence fills our lives, makes the emptiness bearable as Ellie's father says to her in Contact. The only thing that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.
