The true hero is flawed. The true test of a champion is not whether he can triumph, but whether he can overcome obstacles—preferably of his own making—in order to triumph. A hero without a flaw is of no interest to an audience or to the universe, which, after all, is based on conflict and opposition, the irresistible force meeting the unmovable object.
Ricardo L. Walker
I'm divided. On the one hand I should agree because the most perfect champion endured the most difficult challenges, overcoming sin, death and the grave willingly, just for us. ANd YET there is a flaw in this logic. If the qualities are admirable it doesn't matter how we get there. Imagine not needing to err in order to gain wisdom. To be unscarred. This is what he does not realize. No one should want scars for those they love.
