Cracks

The cracks that are inherent in every individual person makes people interesting. Perfection isn't something that is necessarily desirable since when there are no flaws there is rarely interest. There is no need to grow and evolve to bigger and better things since without cracks there is nothing to base the new ideas or characteristics from. Much like Prof. Grobstein's crack, it is something that exists to create change and varied perception, which I believe is a very desirable trait especially in a class like this where different perspectives, backgrounds, and cracks create a diverse and interesing learning environment. I like the idea of the crack both in the individual and as a part of the scientific method. It just seems more real. Things are not ever completely removed from themselves that way, much as it may be desirable in certain situations.
