"...a true human is not a model of righteousness, a pig or a prude, but recognizes that some failings are as necessary to genuine human nature as salt to stew. Merely righteous people are impossible to live with because they have no humor, do not allow the true human nature to be, and are dangerously unconscious of their own shadows. ... Trust in human nature is acceptance of the good-and-bad of it, and it is hard to trust those who do not admit their own weaknesses."
-Alan Watts, Tao: The Watercourse Way
