The Reality of the Other; The Fallacies Within Expectation.
If someone shows you who they truly are, take your blinders off to see that person as they have presented themselves to you- with their beauty and strength as well as with their tragic fallacies and downfalls.
This means not seeing them solely just as the potential that lies within them. It does not mean that you don't believe that they will never live up to that potential but to acknowledge to yourself that if they are unwilling to do anything to grow towards that potential, it is not your place to attempt to force them to do so.
For you to view them from a lens where you see them as the person they could be rather than who they are now means that you hold expectations of them that you expect them to conform to. This is your issue not theirs.
