The Primer on Perfection.
I’m new. A neophyte.
Feels different. Weird.
There is something about new that I could never get acquainted to. Something I could never get accustomed to.
There is something about “new” that is so old to me that I do not know it anymore and I hate it. Apprehensions always get the best of me. I create scenarios inside my head that are too good (or too bad) to be true. And when the time of reckoning comes, nothing surprising happens to me. I hate the fact that I am made to imagine things that send me up the roof and end with nothing but a bland taste on my tongue.
But in the end, who is to blame? The circumstances perhaps? Circumstances are dead, not a life within them. And you create your circumstances. So blame the creator. You.
But we are not fond of blaming ourselves. We would like to think that we are in control of everything. Yes, humans and their imperfections. With all the power we wield over things around us, it is in our nature to think of invincibility and that we are born with it. Perfection is another word.
Most of us would want to live in perfection without knowing the consequences it entails. Let me open your eyes and awaken you, poor creature of blood.
Imagine a world of perfection or as some people who do not use the power to think would call it, UTOPIA. Heavenly wonderful, you might think. But you are wrong.
A world of perfection is one that is lifeless…boring in simple terms. To live in a perfect world is to live without life, without purpose, without drive, without philosophy. To live in it is to live where things do not make sense at all.
Imperfection is the one that is perfect. Because of imperfection, we are driven, we have a purpose and we know what we live for. THIS IS UTOPIA—AN IMPERFECT WORLD.

This is what 's worth living for. The drive to rise above imperfection. But we all know we are not prepared for perfection. It is an object the gods play with. No matter how hard we try to transcend it, it remains a thing that we could never reach. But it is not so bad after all because it is that trait that makes us who we are--humanity in search for perfection that we could never attain.
Live life. Take pride in imperfection. It is yours. You are you. In this, we are united.
