There Are No Flaws in the Material of Man

Mike just told me that he doesn't believe people have flaws. He says that material items like glass and fabric have flaws but people don't. They have things they need to work on, things in their lives they can improve but they aren't flaws. In his mind, a flaw is a negative unchangeable attribute. It was a beautiful sentiment and it made me happy to hear him say it. People are not hopelessly flawed, everyone can change for the better, everyone can make their lives better with simple changes. There is nothing in our design that can't be changed for the better. The whole idea echoes my own innocent naive beliefs and makes me wonder- are Mike and I so different after all?
