Celebrating Imperfection

This was the first time that I read your magazine--mostly because Kevin Spacey was on the cover. Little did I know that you would print an article at just the right point in my life. Thank you so much for “My Life as a Marked Man” (by Martin J. Smith, Sept. 9). How true is the statement, “Anybody can be perfect. Imperfect is much more interesting.” I have spent a lot of time criticizing myself and comparing myself to the “ideal” man. My body tells a story, and anyone who gets close enough to listen to what it has to say just might like what they hear. Thank you for pointing out the importance of imperfection.
