The Old Man said, “You are both ugly and handsome and you must accept your ugliness as well as your handsomeness in order to really accept yourself."

"My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen."

Great Spirit help me not to judge, you made us complete, good and bad.
