The essence of being human lies in embracing imperfection and flaws. People need to have a balance of beneficence and rascality, to have vices like smoking in moderation, similar to Alan Watts. Gurus and yogis, often misunderstood as calm and passive, can display anger purposefully to awaken others. Real authenticity is seen in individuals with flaws who speak the truth, like Alan Watts with his wife and mistresses. Human creativity stems from imperfection, chaos, and flawed experiences, as seen in the most talented artists, musicians, comedians, and actors who often come from troubled backgrounds. As expressed by the speaker's uncle, growth and creativity require facing challenges and imperfections.
