There are no inherent flaws in things,
only traits which are repressed, oppressed and desired to be controlled.
Misinterpreted. Misunderstood. Misrepresented. Neglected.
Acted upon in haste and ignorance, or not at all.
This is the origin of the idea of a "flaw":
Traits are character.
Identifying characteristics.
Opportunities for development.
For growth; for learning.
"Flaws" stem from our attitudes of these opportunities.
Wabi and Sabi
are not presence of flaws;
they are presence of character
of uniqueness;
Flaws are a state of Mind.

Based off of a conversation with a good friend, as well as some writing in a sketchbook of mine.
