I remember growing up as a teenager and a young adult watching movies where people were perfect. They behaved perfectly, talked perfectly, and most importantly they all looked perfect. I grew up to believe that such people exist in real life but little did I realise that such people were not real. Well I haven't met perfect people.
When people talk about finding their soulmate, their perfect partner I always wondered where will they find such people and what is this fixation with perfection? Are we so insecure about our imperfections that we look outside for perfections instead of fixing ourselves. Through the years movies have influenced our minds in a pursuit to find perfect people and which we obviously don't find in the real world so we start imagining it ourselves. But have we ever wondered how this shifts us away from reality? We build a creative, amazing and imaginary world of people that are good to us but in reality we are all grey. It puts pressure on us that we are expected to be perfect to the people around us and we expect the same from others. But this doesn't happen as what we had imagined. We have a little bit of good and bad, we feel angry and jealous and at the same time we are kind and generous. But does that really change our perspective towards perfection?
The term is so ingrained in us that we feel unhappy when we look around us. When individuals begin to uncondition their minds that maybe the term perfection will not haunt the society. Let us all be imperfects. The natural world isn't perfect either owing to the pathogens that exist around us.
