The man thought, if he can remove the flaw, it would be the biggest and most beautiful pearl ever in his possession.
He peeled off a layer to correct the flaw. The flaw was still there. He peeled off another layer, the flaw was still there.
He kept on peeling off the layers until all the layers were gone. Now there was no flaw, but there was no pearl too.
In this life, no one is PERFECT.
Each person you meet would have some FLAW or the other. You will end up losing the person completely while trying to correct his/her flaws.
So try to learn by accepting people with their flaws and you will be surrounded by beautiful people all around you...
Imperfection is beautiful too !
