If you cant accept me at my worst, then you dont deserve me at my best. This is such a popular sentiment that it has its own Facebook fan page with over 150,000 likes. It shows up all the time on memes and illustrations. Of course, the original quote is from Marilyn Monroe. Its even more vapid and nauseating when taken in its full context: Im selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you cant handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell dont deserve me at my best. Out of all the profundities ever uttered, what does it say about our society that THIS is the quote weve decided to take to heart? It says that we need to read more books. Also, it says that we are horrible at relationships. Yes, its true that, in a marriage, we must love our spouses in spite of their flaws. Its also true that we all have flaws. But its ALSO true that only an infantile, spoiled, egotistical brat would ever treat a loved one with her worst and expect them to deal with it because her best will somehow compensate for it. huffingtonpost/matt-walsh/if-i-cant-accept-you-at-y_b_4673582.html
