Perfection

      So, obviously the statement I made about making only one blog a month was a lie. What can I say? I'm not perfect, nor do I claim to be, unlike SOME people (I'm looking at you, Kanye). Hey... Perfection... Hmm... What is perfection? What can truly be described as "perfect" in our world? Numbers? Ideas? Foods? Days? Why don't we delve deeper into what this word "perfect" means? 

      The word "perfect" literally means, "having all the required or desired elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be." I bet if we all tried really hard, we could find something or some moment we believe to be, or had been, perfect. But, let's ask ourselves something. Can we really obtain perfection? Has life reached a point where humans can make things so outstandingly brilliant and accurate that we can finally appropriately use the word that has been misused for ages? I'll answer that question with another (because I am a turd). Is anything in our world without flaw? I truly believe that nothing in our universe is without flaw. I place emphasis on "our" because I am a religious person. That doesn't, however, mean that you, the reader, has to agree with me. I believe that every single thing on our planet, or in our known universe, has it's own personal flaw.

      If you really think about it, humans are the epitome of imperfection. We make mistakes constantly. It does not make us bad or evil, as that is our own choice. Our imperfections have actually been to our benefit. We learn from each and every one of our mistakes, and that's what makes life so beautiful. We are insured, in all of our mistakes, a chance to learn a lesson about ourselves and life.

      Now, we shall discuss whether it is possible to become society's version of perfect or not.

         No.

      It's not.

      ONWARD! 

      This idea that we have to be perfect for the people we love, or even the people we don't, is entirely too stupid for us to buy into. I mean, even animals have figured out how to do what's them without any inhibitions. I say all this with the understanding that just dropping this mentality and picking up a new one is incredibly hard, but that can be dealt with by just taking a first step (eyo). 

      To conclude all of this rambling and nonsense, you aren't perfect. Nobody is. That's not a bad thing, either. It's what causes us to love, hurt, learn, live, laugh, and even breathe (because there are such things as happy mistakes). Don't let the idea that everything about you and your life needs to be perfect keep you from what is most important: being true to yourself and what you stand for. In the end, we'll all have things about our lives that we think we could have done better if they didn't occur, but those things make us who we are because we learn from them.

      I really wish you all peaceful and healthful days. Until next time, my friends.
