"The Imperfections of Being Human"

Perfection - noun - The State of being perfect; freedom from fault or defect.

By looking into this word, there are things in life we can quote the word "perfection" or "perfect": the perfect dress, the perfect dish, the perfect time of day. Using that word can describe what is "perfect" in our hearts. Because in our hearts, there is no fault in what we perceive in life at that moment in time. But what about us; the homo sapian? Should we perceive to be perfect race?

I can honestly say that in my lifetime, there was only one perfect person in life and that was years ago (will keep this blog from being a religious episode for some). We all have faults in our life. Our emotions are not perfect, for instance. Jealousy, rage, insecurity, apathy, grief, fear, hatred, shame, blame, regret, resentment, anger, and hostility; these are a few of emotions that make up the "imperfect human." There is no way getting around how we feel or who we are, its just a part of being human.

Our lives are imperfect as well. We can have a 4-year plan on what we want to achieve in life, but does that really happen? We have bumps here and there, hills and mountains to climb; so there is no live a perfect life. We can seem to have the perfect job or career, but how long will that last until you have problems or situations that are unbearable? Rising unemployment and liquidations is upon us at an all-time high, and although we are officially out of the recession (it makes me wonder if we ever left the recession we had YEARS ago), depending on our career is consider imperfect because of what could happen in our "imperfect" economy.

Relationships are not perfect. If they were, this would be a boring world! We come into a relationship accepting the "imperfections" of our significant other. There is a laundry list of things I could say about my past relationship that made them "imperfect" but I loved them for who they were. And some people say love is imperfect. Why? Because sometimes love is blind for those who where hurt by someone they didn't seem to be the "perfect ideal of husband/wifey-material".

So how can we live in a "imperfect world"? Because we learn to adapt to what is around us. Living in a "imperfect life" helps us to adapt to change, adapt to what is around us, and to approach "imperfections" with some type of foundations towards "perfection". By adapting to imperfections, will make us wise, stronger, and a sense of accomplishment because we took a imperfect situation and sometimes into a feasible goal.

In conclusion, being human is being imperfect. There isn't anything we can do to make us perfect because it will never happen. We must take our imperfections and learn to live with it. Be who you are and be proud of your imperfections. Nobody isn't perfect in this world; because I know I'm not...
