“A deeply good person looks after you and others in a manner that is infused with gratitude. She is profoundly honest about her own weaknesses and has spent a lifetime of self-confrontation of them. She knows where the best help is and gets it. She faces her imperfect nature with unvarnished honesty…and has an outstretched arm, ready to receive and offer assistance. Her friends are there for deep conversation, comfort and advice…for there’s joy in mutual stumbling. She doesn’t build her life by being better than others, but by being better than she used to be.”
– David Brooks, The Moral Bucket List
Here’s to joy in mutual stumbling.
