The Pursuit of Perfection: Is It Worth It?

I’d like to begin by stating a fact that no one is perfect and no one will ever be perfect. Even God who created us didn’t make us perfect yet, we as humans refuse to accept that fact. Let’s take a look at the high rate of plastic surgeries and body changes going on out there today. What’s the whole purpose? To look beautiful and perfect in the eyes of others I guess.

As individuals, we all have our strengths and weaknesses among many others. We can’t always do things right and that’s the beauty of life if you ask me. What would be there to learn if we got everything right? There would be no fun in trying out anything again because after all, it’s always going to turn out well so why bother. But, our Maker made things in such a way that we would most likely for once in our lives for fall short and learn from that.

Moving on, let’s take a look at our bodies. Not everything about us might be perfect and that’s okay. The whole point of all this is to learn to love yourself as an individual. Going in for a plastic surgery or whatever won’t change who you are, it might change your appearance but what is deep within you is actually what matters. Even with these changes, we most likely won’t be able to attain perfection. The best we can do it come closer to it. Maybe someone would tell you it looks perfect which might actually be true in their point of view, but in another persons point of view, it might be the worst.

I’d like to believe this all balls down to us holding other people’s thoughts about us in high esteem and even allowing these stuff to affect us to the extent of trying to change who we are. One thing I know for sure is that, no matter what you do people will talk. So, why not be yourself, do your best and move on with your life. After all, the world is just a temporary place so why kill ourselves even before we are dead? Perfection is an illusion if you ask me. Let’s face the reality now!
