Loving the fool in me


"I must learn to love the fool in me -
the one who feels too much, talks to much, 

takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates,

hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises,
laughs and cries. 

It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled masterful tyrant

whom I also harbor and who would rob me 

of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool." - Theodore I. Rubin, MD
