We all have a measure of what we think perfect is. The dictionary’s definition is the quality or state of being perfect or freedom from fault or defect.
Society if anything causes us to form opinions or conceptions of an ‘ideal’. Whether it is an ideal job, house, car or spouse; we all have proto-types that we want things in our lives to adhere to, our perfect.
But there is a clear danger in that, disappointment and disillusionment.
When you assume that you are entitled to a level of perfection, you are bound to be disappointed. Millions walk through life striving for an existence, they deem as ideal, but by no means attainable.
With perfection does not necessarily come happiness. People say, “life would be perfect if I could just win the lottery.” Not realizing that when you win the lottery you think you can buy you perceived level of perfection and please the many you couldn’t before that moment?
People say, “when I meet the perfect guy/girl I will be happy.” But that begs the question, were you even happy to begin with?
What about the highly propagated ‘American Dream”, is that perfection? Having the ability to make something of nothing? Continuously striving for your conceptualize ideal of perfection and then eventually living it. Is that perfection or fate?
Have you considered that perhaps you aren’t meant to be with or attain perfection; because when you are with someone that is perfect, or reach a level of what you consider perfect, you won’t learn anything. If you believe you are meant to be with perfection than consider this fact, that maybe it wasn’t perfection to begin with.
Our conceived notions change as we evolve and when we realize that you will be more aware of what perfection really is.
