PERFECTION

Perfection is the state of being complete and correct in every way (actually it’s a flawless state where everything is exactly right). Perfection is a goal that many people strive for. And so many people crumble under the pressure of perfection ; having perfect body, perfect home, perfect intelligence and so forth.

There is no real way of knowing what is perfect anymore because what’s perfect to each person is different and not completely quantifiable. Actually it makes striving for perfection infinitely more difficult. It reaches a time when someone does not know what he or she wants  anymore and if she worth  something better.

 I guess people who are in a worse condition are the ones who consider themselves as imperfect (actually incomplete) and as a result they become desperate. I don’t think  we are suppose to consider ourselves as imperfect (incomplete) and we definitely should stop comparing ourselves to others. Because it will just keep hurting ourselves deep inside, leading to us feel worthless.

Sometimes, I just have to encourage myself in order to  keep going. Sometimes I also feel like, am the worst person ever and like I deserve nothing. I guess this is all because I don’t consider myself as to be perfect. I just wish people would accept me just the way I am. But the truth is, It is not that easy to deal with someone’s imperfections. That is why we always point out the tiny things which  make someone imperfect,. But in most cases we forget that, “LIFE IS NOT ABOUT PERFECTION, IT ‘S ABOUT LOVE”. And love doesn’t look for perfection, it perfects the imperfect.

I know I am not perfect, I get easily mad on some tiny issues and this always freaks me out. I don’t expect people or even my family to be perfect and that is why at the end, I just take them as the way they are and that’s what we call “LOVE”.

I tried to ask some friends about this issue and they came up with different opinions about it. Some said, it (perfection) depends on someone’s perception. They expect  someone to be perfect for some reasons. And they keep a list of  what makes a person perfect. All of this gives birth to COMPETITIVE (competing to be perfect). People fight to be perfect, because they were told, you have to be perfect in this way and you’ll be accepted.

In the end, people compete to be perfect in different ways and most people pretend to be something they are not. Perfection ISN’T REAL. People do not get that   no one can be perfect. And if you are, that means you are not real, meaning you are trying to be someone or something you are not.

To wrap this up, I want people to know that, perfection prevents you from seeing your potential as a human being. It prevents you from living a wholesome life. A lot of us fail to pursue our purpose because we get scared by those tiny things that points out our weakness, making us imperfect and we forget that, you can be your own definition of PERFECTION. Be who you want to be and do what you want to do, and you will see the best reflection of yourself through others.
