Are You Perfect?
In my limited experience this is a question that almost everyone can answer correctly but some don't seem to understand what that means. If I'm not perfect and your not perfect and if no one in this room, city, state, nation, or world are perfect then there is no such thing as the perfect man or the perfect woman.
I have seen this perfect person concept taken in two very different ways.
One: Ann is one of those sweet girls who, though their intentions may be honorable, still believes their Prince Charming will come for them and he will have this, look like that, and think this, this and that and he will be absolutely perfect in every way. And as years turn into decades Ann sees men come in and out of her life, possible even a man, Larry, who loved her and would have done everything for her but because he was 3 inches too short got marked as a friend and nothing more.
Two: Valerie know she is not perfect so why should she hold Nick to such a high standard? He cheated on me, so what, nobody's perfect. He called me names, so what it's not like he beats me or anything, nobody's perfect.
How do you find what's right?
What's right for you is not what's right for Ann or Valerie or Nick or Larry, Curly, Moe or whoever. But what is right is having the sense not to let good things pass you by because they don't match exactly with every little desire on your checklist (We can't all marry Gerard Butler or Jessica Alba) and having enough confidence in yourself to not settle for something or someone when you know you truly deserve a lot more. Then the person you find may not be perfect but they just may be the perfect person for you.

This was spot on to what I think, I hate when people say that they want Mr. Prefect because exactly what you said there is no definite definition to perfect. Each person has a different idea of perfect. To me, my boyfriend is not by any means perfect but in so many ways he is to me and that over looks everything that may not be perfect to anyone else. I wonder why we always say no body is perfect, is that just to make us feel better? A way to lift ourselves up when something happens? If there is no perfect then why do we have such a word that can only be defined as perfect? I find this very deep and can only be looked at in a philosophical way.
ReplyDeleteI agree! It can be a very broad subject to attack. I have recently been talking to a friend about wondering if our guys are THE guys. And someone who just dropped into our conversations said, "Well, the way I see it is, There are so many people in the world that there will not just be one person that fits you. There may be plenty." I found that interesting. There really are so many people in the world! Just a thought.
