There's a popular Pidgin proverb which says, “monkey no fine but hin mama like am”. Which can be translated to mean no matter how ugly, flawed, or defective a person is, they are still loved by their loved ones. 😜
Many people believed Abraham Lincoln was ugly, including himself, and he even had a sense of humor about it. Someone once called him 'two-faced' at a debate, and he replied, "If I had two faces, would I be showing you this one?" 😂
The fact is that you may not be as beautiful as Genevieve or as handsome as Ramsey Noah, that's a fact. However, the truth is that you're fearfully and wonderfully made by God! So love yourself, regardless of all your flaws and defects. 😘😃
Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent". Therefore, although the saying "monkey no fine but hin mama like am" is a good one; a better aphorism would be "monkey no fine but hin like himself". It's a fact — the value we place on ourselves is the same value the world places on us. So love yourself! 😘😍
The truth is, we're all flawed one way or the other. However, according to author and zen philosopher Cheri Huber, “It takes a tremendous act of courage to admit to yourself that you are not defective in any way whatsoever“. So once again love yourself dear. After all… na who fine epp? 😕
