True love for friends, relatives, and lovers means you accept each other as is. Imperfections occur in everyone. Outer beauty fades, or at least our culture thinks so. Youth seems to be the ideal. When we notice signs of aging in ourselves and others, we often feel less than. Instead of appreciating nature in its many forms, both young and old, some people want to keep their former younger appearance. Our culture often judges by stereotypes and practices age discrimination thinking the older generation is less capable. Older but wiser should be the slogan.
Some imperfections in thinking and behavior can affect inner beauty. Personality quirks may become evident. Forgiveness may be necessary to sustain our loving feelings for others and ourselves.
Warts and other physical imperfections may be evident at first glance. Other imperfections may be noticed with time. Say "I love you" to those you love, and just as important, love yourself just the way you are.
