Humanity, The Great Equalizer
Every human comes with imperfections. It's what makes us human after all. It also is what equalizes us, making no one better than another. It's the great equalizer.
Knowing that that person next to you or even that person you look up to came with essentially the same amount of imperfections as yourself, can by a huge relief. They may have figured out how to overcome the imperfection(s) though, and so can you.
Let's drop the pretences that we're better than someone else. Let's drop the pretences that we have it all figured out. Let's drop all the pretences and accept our humanity, and accept others humanity.
Thinking someone is less than you, only marginalizes yourself, not the individual you're attempting to marginalize.
(Obviously we shouldn't accept hate, and other evil things that come from people with problems, but we can still accept their humanity through it. There are unfortunately bad people in the world and we do not accept the bad things they do, but realize the bad things they do come from unfixed imperfections)

Fantastic thought. We are all human. It's important to not forget that.
