Humans are the only creatures who are forever chasing perfection without realising they are perfect just the way they are.
The biggest problem with perfection is that most people are chasing someone else’s idea of perfection. They allow businesses and influencers to tell them what they need in order to achieve perfection. Of course, they’re paying for that privilege, and when they get it, someone moves perfection to a different location. In reality, perfection doesn’t exist because it’s based on perception. Let’s look at how perfection has changed over time.
When modern humans first originated on the planet, do you really think they worried about their appearance? No, is the answer to that question. All they worried about was getting enough to eat and a safe place to sleep, when both were achieved. That was their perfect day. Today’s perfection has moved past the basic necessities for survival. Are we better or worse off? This is a question for each individual to answer. I’ll leave you with one final thought.
Perfection, as it’s envisioned today, is a first world problem that people in the first world are too complicated to solve.
