The thing with me and IMPERFECTION

I’ve recently formed a belief that you can only classify everything into two things: the truth, and the distractions.

Truth doesn’t mean fact, or proven idea, or information. Truth is about the purest things*, the things that remain pure even if one thinks otherwise of it.

Distractions are those that hinder us from seeing the truths or lead us away from the truths.

[*Know that when I say ‘things’, I refer to all that exist, and not just mere physical objects. Possibilities and culturally-differing ideas also included.]

However, when I thought of it more carefully, I realized that I do not know any truths. I know some ideas that may be parts of some truths but I can never know the whole and exact truth itself.

Why? Because nothing ever really IS. I do not mean that there are no truths, there are truths– however, we, humans, can not really grasp exact truths, only part-truths. Secondly, all things are constantly changing. (Analyze and see that this is also not ‘exactly’ true.)

I know I’m sounding like a perfectionist, maybe that is what I am.

I’m not complaining about imperfection– not in this post, at least. I may write one about it later on. I’m not saying that nothing is perfect. I actually believe in perfection, just not in this world, or in this “realm”. [By realm, I mean this world, this universe, this galaxy, this macrocosm and anything beyond that that was ‘created.’

I believe in perfection because it is only logical that perfect things exist. Let me explain.

Take the statement “Nothing is perfect” as an example. It contradicts itself. If nothing is really perfect, then everything is imperfect. If this would be true, that would make ‘imperfection’ perfect. And if imperfection is perfect, then something is perfect. This would disprove the statement.

Therefore, some things are perfect. We just don’t know, can’t know, or aren’t supposed to know.

A great someone taught me these things:

> Everything in life has a reason. You just don’t get to know all of them.

>You only get what you deserve. [from what I understand, this someone meant ‘deserve’ as in earned or gained through doing something]

If we add this in the whole idea, it means that we yet have to ‘earn’ perfection. At least, that’s what I believe.

Another thing to keep in mind is that one can not ‘perfectly’ grasp an idea — this includes ‘perfection’. None of us ‘perfectly’ knows anything, and thus, can not now everything about anything. I, myself, admit my cluelessness about most things.

Right now, nothing is perfect to me. But I know that there are lots of things that I do not know about– and perfection is one of them.
