The way we are..........


Does anyone ever wonder why we are the way we are?? I mean, seriously it's a good point to ponder. We all have our little odd habits, our little white lies, our little secrets. These are the things that make us unique. I mean, without them, we'd be near-perfect. Of course, we all strive to achieve that inevitablly impossible state of perfection, but why do so at all??
If life has taught me anythin, it has taught me that perfection, in any sense of the word, is ultimately boring. Perfection, although maybe be a state of beauty, it is also a plane of near-intolerable boredom, almost a state of being bordering on being plain.
Humanity was never created to be just plain or ordinary. It was created, through whatever means you choose to believe, to maintain an element of chaos within itself. It is this chaos that drives us to continually evolve, to become better than we are now and to ultimately attempt to achieve that impossible perfection.
The idea here is not to create a yearning for an individual to be something he or she is not in a pathetic attempt at achieveing some form of acceptance within a social demographic of peers who will never feel any obligation to welcome them, much less tolerate them, if that group feels no inclination to do so. Instead, the idea is to create some form of acceptance for all of mankinds children, not just for their qualities but also for their faults. They may burp during a good movie, they may babble on & on about useless & irrelevant topics, they may wear certain items in some feeble attempt to beautify themselves (be it through piercing, tattoos, make-up, wigs or anything else more extreme than those already mentioned). But ultimately, mankind is an example of the inner mechanics within one human being. Mankind maintains a form of balance within itself, working towards a better form of life & a better acceptance of ones achievements & failings.
Therefore, I say unto you, take a second look at those around you. You may be surprised at what you find within any given person. And often, what you may find may be the very thing you were looking for. And if nothing else, atleast you will never be accused of not trying hard enough.
