The usual walk in a park in the early evening in nature reminds of wonderful creation. Nature is way too perfect. The tall trees , beautiful flowers . Sun light streaming through the trees and radiating on the flowers bring a kind of joy and peace which otherwise during the day seems out of reach. The day is full of activity our mind and body gets immersed in various tasks , the rut of things kind of make it look ordinary , nothing perfect here.
But once we connect with nature we are reminded of the perfection that exists . Everything happening
in harmony. From the earth rotating and revolving around the sun , the seasons changing, the clear blue skies , sun rising and setting each day without fail. Occasional mood swings are
when the sun gets clouded.
Human beings too strive for perfection, the perfect diet, the perfect body , perfect house, perfect relationship.Some how that quest for perfection brings with it immense effort and stress. Our expectations and inability to meet high standards can leave us feeling dissatisfied, angry at results. even if success is achieved it is at a cost of many things. While one should strive for success and perfection one should not get lost in the drive to attain it.
Athletes competing at Olympics have to be at their best, beat the best. It would not be possible were it not for perfection. only thing that separates this kind of perfection from perfection in nature
in nature everything evolves organically , flowers blossom , fruits ripen at the right time only, sun rises and sets at given time, seasons change at given time.In case of human beings everything has to be forced. Time is premium.
Trying to be "always" happy is again sign of perfection. But it leads to depression eventually.
Pain and suffering have a place. They are our greatest teachers. Imagine if you were not to feel pain
on lifting the utensil on fire you can cause severe burns. Or if there is no pain in stomach on eating junk food we would carry on with our eating habits eventually causing us greater harm. At a deeper level this pain and suffering make us seek alleviation from it and we then become seekers and look for answers and cure else where and correct those situation.
So have room for imperfections and don't be too hard on yourself. Don't fret and fume at not being able to accomplish things. Only thing that matters is our drive and ability to give 100 percent. Results are consequential.
