Life is far from perfect. We all discover this early on in life. Life is hard and unfair. As kids everyone gets to know beauty and pain. Beauty is jumping off the swings smoothly and effortlessly. Pain is all those times the jump didn’t go as well and bruises showed up all over the legs. We pursue this mystical perfect life, even though, life is not just happiness and beauty. The longer we live, the better we get to understand that being perfect is simply impossible. The quicker we realize this, the faster we can live a better life full of imperfection. Youth today is chasing this perfect life more than any other generation living on earth. Especially with the digital life, where we all can present ourselves flawlessly. If I were offered “the perfect life” I would, without a doubt, take it, even though I'm aware it wouldn't be a particularly good life. We still all want to be perfect deep down, but here’s why we shouldn’t attempt to.
If perfection lived in it’s pure form, it would be boring. It would be really boring to have dinner with a person who was perfect. They wouldn’t be able to relate to your flaws, since they wouldn’t have experienced any of them. It would be one of the most awkward conversations of all time. The person would be unlikely to understand you and you would be unlikely to understand them. Nothing would be interesting if everything was perfect, because everything would have the same level of greatness. In the same way nothing would be interesting if everything was miserable and painful. It’s a fine balance between good and bad, beauty and ugliness, happiness and misery and joy and pain.
