The Fool In Me

Some phrases/sayings speak to me louder than others.  I stumbled across this the other day and it has stayed with me...

"I must learn to love the fool in me -- the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, loves passionately, laughs and cries.  It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness and humility but for my fool."
-Theodore I. Rubin, MD
