It is great to take people as we find them. Even people very different tend to have some shared ideals. For example, just because we might be friends with a heavy drinker does not mean that we have to drink with them. Some people might have a lot of drama in their lives, but if they don't spill it over onto us, that's ok. We can see and share the good in others, and just have boundaries for areas that are not so good.
