Perfection Is All In The Mind

It's 7 a.m. A Sunday morning. Tina went and stood at her balcony that overlooked the busy road. The cool breeze didn't alter her bad mood.

How could her friend not know that Tina doesn't like being called up during her sleep hours? “Why did she call me up when she knew I would be sleeping right now, only to ask me about trivial things?”

Tina, as you observe, was quite like me in one respect. She wanted to have uninterrupted sleep. However, she was definitely wrong to snap back at her friend when she called her. It slipped off of Neeta's mind that Tina might be asleep at that time.

As an uninterrupted-sleep lover, I might blame Neeta, but only for the love of sleep. However, logically speaking, it was Tina who needs to have a proper understanding before flying off the handle.

Believe me, we have many Tinas and Neetas around us. You want to see a quick real life example? Go to the nearest coffee shop/restaurant. Watch the barista/waiter taking orders while at least one customer screams at him his lungs off, for want of 'a better service'. Do they realize that he is a human being and not a machine?

And before we question someone else, let's confess for once that we ourselves do this quite often. There are days when we treat people around us badly, even if we know that they didn't intend to do wrong to us.

Human beings want perfect human beings while being flawed.

Perfection, in real terms, is a myth. You can always strive to be perfect. You might be close to perfection. However, never perfect. Let's see how we practically see this.

When was the last time you argued with a close friend over something?

When was the last time you were disappointed when you worked hard but things weren't perfect?

If it was really long time back, we need more people like you. If you often fall out with someone or get disappointed with a result of your work, well, you know...

You work hard for something but it does not yield a perfect result. You do not get what you wanted. Things aren't as you expected them to be.

You are friends with someone. You are aware of the fact that they know what you like and what you dislike. Still, they somehow did something that annoyed you.

All you need to know is that you aren't perfect. You need to know that no one is perfect.

That the concept of perfection is made up by human beings who are yet to achieve it. That if you accept things they way they are, that would give you a 'sense' of perfection. That the concept of being perfect is psychological. That you are ethereality and errors put together, and so is every other human being.

 Keep Smiling! 😊
