"I never expect to see perfect work,
from an imperfect man."

This is a quote by Alexander Hamilton.
Alexander Hamilton undeniably,
one of the smartest men that's ever lived.

It is shocking how much we forget this.
Man, is not perfect.
Wait, excuse me, it's 2018.
People are not perfect.
Your teachers,
your parents,
your supervisors,
they easily forget this.

And it goes without saying that those people,
are imperfect as well.
When will we realize,
that people make mistakes?
But more importantly,
when will we figure out,
how to forgive.

Forgive me please,
if I forget to take out the trash.
Forgive me please,
if I do not do well on a test.
Forgive me please,
if I misbehave.

Forgive us please,
if we mess up.
Many people don't know much about Alexander Hamilton. If you do, it is most likely due to your exposure to, Hamilton: The musical which came out in 2016. If you don't, read this.

Hamilton was the Secretary of Sate when George Washington was president. He wrote 51 out of the 81 essays written for the Federalist Papers. He helped fund the first federal bank. He was heavily influential in Thomas Jefferson becoming president, and he died in a duel with both his best friend and his enemy. This is also how his son, Phillip, died. (Phillip died before Alexander)
