First let me start off by saying I don't buy into this theory... but it's an interesting concept I created.
I once had a theory that no one was flawed. It's not that we were perfect by nature but that "flaws" did not truly exist. "Flaws" were merely positive traits that were either not fully developed or uncontrolled. For example, someone who came across as bossy was not truly bossy. They were just someone who tried to help others but failed to control their passion. Someone who came across as whiny and wimpy was just sensitive.
In a way, the theory is simply a way to view everyone's traits in a positive light. No one is ever a bad person, just simply misunderstood. However, to an extent, these characteristics do fall into very defined categories and it is hard not to notice obvious similarities between what is defined as a good characteristic and what is perceived as a bad characteristic.
Take for example the very real example of Mitsuki and My Love For Yuna. MLFY thinks Mitsuki is the best thing since sliced bread. He adores and respects her to no end. He gives her a lot of attention and has no other objective other than to show her adoration. She and others, however, perceives it (rightfully so) as creepy and stalker-ish. MLFY is not "flawed" in his adoration of the girl but he cannot control his passion, which simply makes a very respectable trait seem disturbing and inappropriate. The line is so thin it can be crossed without a person realizing they've crossed it.
Thoughts? Also, I use passion to justify most of these "flaws"... which makes passion a flaw in its own right. Someone see if they can justify passion using my theory's logic.
