Everybody you meet has faults

The world is full of people who are different in many ways, the only thing they all have in common is, none of them are perfect in every way.

I’ve listed a number of common character flaws in people, which one do you think is unacceptable in a friend?

  1. Jealous.
  2. Greedy.
  3. Vain.
  4. Spiteful.
  5. Petty.
  6. Anxious.
  7. Controlling.
  8. Cowardly.
  9. Dishonest.
  10. Cruel.
  11. Naive.
  12. Gullible.
  13. Messy.
  14. Pitiful.
  15. Insecure.
  16. Arrogant.
  17. Vengeful.
  18. Angry.
  19. Racist.
  20. Selfish.
  21. Hypocrite.
  22. Defensive.
  23. Privileged.
  24. Prudish.
  25. Tactless.
  26. Paranoid.
  27. Lazy.

If you tell me the name of a person who has no flaws, I will tell you the name of somebody you think you know. I’ll leave you with an old saying.

The person who believes their friends should be without fault will have no friends.
