An elderly Chinese woman carried two pots on a pole across her neck each day to fetch water - one pot was perfect while the other had a crack, causing it to only deliver half as much water. For two years this continued, with the cracked pot feeling ashamed of its imperfection. However, the woman had planted flowers along the cracked pot's side of the path, which it watered daily on the walk home. She was able to pick these flowers to decorate with, which would not have been possible without the cracked pot's flaw. Each person has their own unique flaws that make life together interesting.
