“Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks ”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Simplified Meaning:

Everyone has their own little oddities or imperfections, and these are what make them unique and special. Imagine if all your friends were perfect and never did anything unexpected or goofy. Life would be less interesting and less fun. For example, your best friend might always laugh too loud at jokes, but it’s that loud laugh that always lifts your mood. Or another friend might be terrible at cooking, but you love their attempts because they create funny and memorable moments. These quirks and flaws make our relationships more genuine and meaningful. By accepting and appreciating these imperfections, we can enjoy richer and deeper connections with the people we care about. Without these idiosyncrasies, friendships would feel incomplete and oddly impersonal.
