Chasing Perfection


People tend to look for things that are supposedly perfect!
Perfect is over used and now exist as another word for many of the anticipated assumptions in life.  We used to call views and statements as a " pipedream " -
 **  What's the meaning of the phrase 'Pipedream'?
A (pipe dream) is an unrealistic hope or fantasy. What's the origin of the phrase 'Pipe dream'?
 The phrase 'pipe dream' is an allusion to the dreams experienced by smokers of opium pipes.
Opiates were widely used by the English literati in the 18th and 19th centuries.
 Yet, " total perfection " is seldom found here on earth.

** Note: notice how opiates in much in use today?

Today there are so called; perfect storms, plays, shots, games and things made or assembled.
We now find this idea of so-called perfection in much of the modern vocabulary today.
If we were honest{another moral quality overlooked today} then everyone would know perfect
 is not necessary in daily life.  A great deal of time is spent seeking total perfection.

Yet this in no way meant to say that it is not desirable to do your best!  By all means, we should always attempt to do our best.  Just doing your best will not result in perfection!
Perfection is a state of mind - not a reality. 

Always doing your best would be a better application of efforts in  making completing or finishing things.  Many cultures like the Navaho, when they make something will purposely install a noticible flaw - because mankind does not make anything perfect.

Therefore do not waste time chaseing perfection - just do you absolute best and let the cards fall where they will!

 Pray for direction and let it  direct you!      Let God be your guide!
