Do not falter to unveil your vices before me. Don't you fear to lose my friendship for your follies. I assure you, I am as 'flawful' as you. I have as many faults as your existence possesses, or probably more than that. I acquaint you with my reality that I am made up of mistakes, foibles and frailties besides blood and flesh. I am an individual with a terrible past, muddled present and uncertain future. I am guilty of doing some things and proud of others. I can't forget my past and can't stop thinking about my future. I am clueless about what life is or where it will lead me. I too make and have made bad choices, wrong decisions and brutish stands in life. Propensities to go astray and commit errors are instilled in every single cell of mine. I am sinful as well as righteous. So if you crave my company and compassion, you must take me for what I am and 'where' I am, and you must accept your own flaws as I have accepted mine. If you expect me and others around you to be perfectly flawless, then in that case, please, I recommend you, end your worldly life forthwith and entreat God to transmit you to heaven since that's the abode of angels who are pure and clean of all blemishes. As humans, we are inherently flawed. We are bound to make mistakes and learn from them. We can only aspire and endeavour to become impeccable. If you believe you are an angel, free of all defects and full of divine virtues, please don't come to me for I am too destitute to afford the company of angels. However, I make you clear that I disdain the devils and don't receive them as well. I only befriend 'humans'. Humans with feelings of love, hate, envy and fear; humans who hold desires and dreams; humans who are capable of feeling others' pain. If you are a human like me, come to me, share my hopes and happiness. I'll make you my friend and never 'judge' you by your past or laugh at your weaknesses. I will love you for what you are, honouring the same returns from you. So stop searching for 'angels' to calm your demons. Come, try the friendship of a human. I warrant thee, it's very 'comfortable' if unfeigned and true.
