Is It Normal To Be Perfect

Re: Is It Normal To Be Perfect

If someone was perfect they couldn't stand to be around others.
Now My brother says he is the perfect human being. He makes the perfect number of mistakes and has the perfect number of adversities in his life, therefore he is the "perfect human". When asked, "How are you?" I answer, "Perfect" but it is an affirmation and not a fact.

Perfection is impossible, as far as I'm concerned. And if everyone had the same standard, it wouldn't be "perfect" anymore--it would be the norm.

You can't be perfect at everything. We are not made to be perfect at everything. I would be insane to try to be perfect at everything.

Ok there's this person who's perfect at everything. He/she got a perfect house, perfect hygiene, perfect health, perfect family, perfect grades at school, never been in any trouble, never use drugs, alcohol and smoking, perfect job, perfect finanace, he/she got a perfect life going on here. So my question is do you think it's normal to be perfect at everything?

Nothing and no has the perfect anything. The bigger question is... Why do you care so much about it in the first place?

Maybe everything is not as perfect as it seems. Quite often people who try to present their life as perfect, have deep insecurities and even they indeed were leading a happy and seemingly succesful life right now, sooner or later they have to face the ugly side of life as well. Not to mention that keeping up the image of a perfect life or always trying to reach perfection can lead to a breakdown and there's nothing to envy in that.

And remember, there's always someone who has it either better or worse than you. Someone might think that it is you who has the perfect life. (And if you feel like presenting some reasons why your life might not be so perfect, remember that this perfect person of yours could do the very same trick. We just don't know about the "dark sides" of others.)

And when it comes to the question in the title: Absolutely not. Because 'perfect' is an illusion that tends to change constantly according to the societal norms and it doesn't take in consideration the fallibility of human nature. And clever business folks are eager to make money out of people's desire to become perfect so you might want to ponder if your ideas of 'perfect' come from commercials or media and involve money changing hands...
