The Ideal of Perfection

The occasional halts in life is often misperceived as obstacles; burdenful obstacles that is unnecessarily happening in our lives. I use the article "is" to denote a singular tone as these obstacles, though often appear in different forms, are always regarded as stemming from the umbrella of negativities. They can be taken as soundbites that remind us once in a while that we are still living in a world of imperfections. Admittedly, these soundbites occur more regularly for some so that any flawlessness act as encouragement and consolation that the world is not entirely without its beauties.

To some, these halts seem to be more chronic that the well-being of a quality life has been hampered. It is at this point that these obstacles have ventured a distance far more than a mere stimulant of human resistance to daily upsets.

The world has shown to us that there never was perfection. This notion however, has proved to be far too general and simplistic to reflect accurately the realities of imperfection itself. Within this notion is a world more severe: there are various degrees of imperfections that the lowest end of the range would make the notion an understatement. Maybe it wasn't meant to be stratified further; they are still imperfections nevertheless.

Is there any truth that the better we are able to explain these obstacles and our lives, the closer to perfection will we reach? Or does it maintain a myth that one can attain perfection? Would there be such a notion of perfection then?

While we should not favour different levels of imperfections, the reality remains that we are imperfect beings ourselves.
