(Im)perfection

-


You will not find everything perfect in life. The people you meet, the jobs you do, the place you live and external circumstances around you always may not perfectly match with your expectations. Of course, you are lucky if you get it all correct. When you find something below your expectation you feel disappointed and upset. You start comparing what you have with what you don’t.
But reality, imperfection is in everything around us. You cannot expect always you are surrounded with helpful and kind people. It is not guaranteed that everyone will keep their promises, some people will break your heart in to pieces, your money will be stolen, you will be attacked by natural disaster, enemies, epidemics, you will be cheated. You will be treated badly. It is not guaranteed that everyone going to be treated fairly, respectfully. People will favor others; they will die for someone but not for you. 
Unless you know, understand and comprehend the fact that imperfection is a universal truth you will not stop comparing, and seeking shortcomings on what you already got.
The feeling of imperfection can attack you any moment and many times in your life and this can be as bad as you feel that there is no point living in this world. To conquer this, you must accept the reality and face it; look it at from distance; do not go to embrace it.  More the you comprehend the reality (your understanding that this is real, it is universal rule, it happens not only to you etc) the better you are to stay calm.
 I think when people get older and wiser their ability to understand through experience and knowledge will increase.  They will look things in a different perceptive and will not get upset for things that they understood as universal rule. For e.g. when the sun goes down and it became dark, people will not get upset because they know very well this incident, it has been seen and understood from long ago and they know that how much they cry it will not change.
How can you learn the reality? First, from your own experience, then form others experience. You can gather your experience writing it in a journal and read it time to time. Also, you can gather other’s experience by reading books, associate with them, getting their mentor-ship, listening to their stories etc.
 Remember key is to understand how the world works. If you understand and comprehend it correctly you will be stronger.

Reflect before React

One Sunday evening, which happened to be Christmas eve, I was walked into a shopping mall. The automatic front doors swung open, and a happy young couple walked out with their purchases in a trolley and few items in their hands as well. Just after they passed me, I heard the sound of glass shattering and almost immediately, I understood that the champagne glass box that the man was carrying in his hand, seemingly purchased for a Christmas party, had fallen and broken into pieces. The man bent down to remove the pieces while the woman was very frustrated about their glasses having shattered. I could clearly see that their faces were not the same happy faces I saw few minutes ago.  Sparks of frustration and anger emitted between each other. Their immediate reaction was to blame each other for what happened. Just like this couple, in many instances in our life don't we all do the same? Flash our reaction without assessing the situation properly  onl...

I thought to share some of the strategies that are working well with me.   Stay away from media At the beginning, like most of us, I too was curious to know more about how the pandemic was affecting.
