To love someone is to see their flaws and still see their beauty.
"Love someone and know their faults; dislike someone and know their merits." See people whole. To love is to accept imperfection; and don't dismiss someone entirely because you dislike them.
| Single | Don't judge by first impressions; get to know them. |
|---|---|
| Dating | Accept your partner's flaws and appreciate their strengths. |
| Married | In marriage, see the good and bear the rest. |
From the Great Learning: people are biased toward those they love, despise or fear; "so those who love someone yet know their faults, or dislike someone yet know their merits, are rare in the world."
