Perfection
The best thing that ever happened to me in my current age bracket is realizing and internalizing the fact that no one is perfect, neither am I. you will hear so much of the "not being perfect" statement in here, bare with me.
Yes I am not perfect, neither are you. when you think about it carefully you start to understand why all people, white and black, big and small, tall and short, bright or slow...name them; have something to bring to the table, something much more important than how they look like. when you realize you probably have bigger ears than you would ask for or maybe shorter toes than you would wish to have; you also get to understand you may not be perfect but you are as beautiful as you wish to think. The advantage of knowing you have flaws is that it makes you accept people around you for who they are and not what they look like according to you.
Truth of the matter is those people who make friends on the basis of looks, size, physic or material things for that matter lose out on the most important things there is to make them better in one way or the other. Maybe such people who demean others should have a better look at themselves; try to find out why they are not at the top of the world as they probably imagine, and actually get to understand that there is nothing like ( they are therefore not) the epitome of beauty, benchmark of perfection or standard of living. Yes that is the first step of knowing all people are equal, created in different ways, each with a unique power and purpose. when you realize you are not perfect, you also realize everyone around you is as human as you are.
A long time ago I lost a friend, who I now realize was never a friend. One of my goals in life is to make as many friends as I can; all types of friends ranging from deep, casual, normal, 'hi' 'hi' kind of friends, whatever you call them, and lose none of them along the way because my big brother taught me friends are a treasure. The whole point is not friendship as such but being on the good side with people I meet. Well for this particular "friend", it was good riddance. Correct me if am wrong but am of the opinion that, it is totally wrong to go ahead and trash people around me, both those I know and those I don't know because I brand myself the epitome of beauty, the base description of the real thing in life, benchmark of perfection...... (give me some heavier words on this and pardon the repetition). I personally have no business associating with such kinds of people, as my uncle puts it, when you associate with people of a different opinion from yours on a defined matter, they will definitely pull you back. There is a clear cut difference between having a high self esteem/loving yourself and trashing everybody around you.
I rest my case today on this note; if something does not work for you, don't force it. Look for things, places, people, jobs, hobbies, vibes that go well with your soul. To my readers, if you are one of those who believe you are the best in existence; that is perfect and good for your soul keep it up. But if you further go ahead to demean other fellows because of that self proclaimed measure, then there is serious need for attitude check up. Bless you.
