I like this. It reminds me of something I've thought true of the bodhisattva for a while. The bodhisattva isn't better or more perfect than anyone else. The bodhisattva simply fails better than most people do. Or, as Lao Tzu said, "True perfection seems imperfect, yet it is perfectly itself." It's not how well we succeed that makes us divinely human, but how well we fail.
