My Own Flaws

Decent Essays
Everyone has a flaws, it is part of human nature. Some flaws we choose to keep, some we would pass up in a second, and others help define who we are. A particular flaw that I have, that I would choose to keep, is my independence. Starting at a young age, I have always wanted to accomplish and succeed on my own merit. Whether this is part of my nature, or because I was the youngest of three, I have always been the independent child in my house. Since independence can be viewed as a flaw, it is a flaw that I would keep because I think it impacts me in a positive way.

    In Geoffrey Chaucer’s collections of stories, The Canterbury Tales, a group of pilgrims traveling to the shrine of St. Thomas Beckett tell each other stories containing different moral connotations. One such fable, The Pardoner’s Tale, is narrated by a licensed pardoner, who explains the evils of one of his main faults: greed; a vice that has indeed made him wealthy, but has done so at the expense of others.
