You want to appreciate someone for who they are, but that doesn’t mean they get to be an asshole to you. It doesn’t mean you get to be an asshole to them when they’re not their best self. It doesn’t mean you get to ridicule them. It doesn’t mean you get to belittle them. It’s about having patience with them, accepting their faults, not needing to change every little thing about them or make sure they’re perfect.
