Hmm....let me be very honest this is a very tough topic to deal with.
Just to share one incident, once I said to one of my good friends that I don't want to get good marks. I dont have desire and hunger ;-). Friend's reply "since u can't get, so this is just a tactic to avoid the reality." Thanks to the friend for being so blunt. I concentrated on studies next term and performed good.
So, we have a lot of imperfections. But is it necessary to be perfect always. Isn't this puts a lot of pressure and may reduce the F part of life, I mean fun part ;-)
But the core of the dilemma still remains accepting the imperfections is termed as accepting defeat. I somewhere believe suppose that you have some imperfections, it is important to realize that it is perfectly human to have imperfections. Thats what make each of us different and unique. I like the word "different" also. Each person can have different meaning of imperfections. So, it depends whether one wants to buy universal definition of "perfections" or not. So, instead of perfect and imperfect, different is better.
Just to share one story, which has a lasting impression on me, since i heard it.
There was a disc which was rolling down slowly. It was slow because it wasnt perfectly circular. One portion was broken. It was enjoying cool breeze, watching flowers and watching butterflies. Interacting with new people and doing hi hello during rolling. In the midway, the circular disk met God. As usual God asked the disk to make one wish. The disk said make me perfect circular. God obliged. And then it start rolling so fast that it missed all the F part, I mean fun part.
The morale of the story is that it is not necessary to be perfect to enjoy life.
Sometimes, accepting imperfections helps and instead can make life more joyful.
I really get influenced by my friends. One of my friend always gives reference of movies. The habit is catching me. Let me give you reference of one movie "Good will hunting"
One counsellor tells a story about his life to his client.
"My wife used to fart when she was nervous. Sometimes, she used to fart in sleep. Once that was so loud that she woke up and asked is that you. She died 2 years back. These are things that I remember. Wonderful stuff U know. little things like that. I miss this type of intimacy. There are some idiosynchrancies that we 2 only know about each other. People call this as imperfections but they are not. This is good stuff and intimacy is all about this. We are not perfect, boy."
If you watch "Forest Gump" or "Terminal", Tom Hanks makes his own perfect world despite so many imperfections.
So, imperfections make us different and unique. Obviously, we dont want to be another perfect brick in the wall.
bye for now.....till then i live with my imperfections and u 2.....

Sahi hai ladke.. lagee raho Sanjay bhai..
Good Work Sanjay... Keep it up!
Good Job Lal!!! I see a philospher coming up here..
I would like to add something. Perfection is not an absolute term. We learn every day and each moment. And each time as we grow, as we move closer to perfection; the perception about perfection changes. Each time you know something more, you realize there is more to it. So for those who keep running for perfection and leave everything else behind, I would say perfection is something to strive for, not to achieve for. The goal is not always meant to be reached, sometimes it solves some purpose. The quest must be to defeat the only and the most powerful enemy. The one that is inside. And on this path, one fine day you find yourself in complete peace and harmony, in harmony with whole universe, since the only enemy you had no more exists. :)
bhai... tu zyada movies dekh raha hai.. har blog mein movies quoted hain.. sab brest ka kamaal hai.. gud stuff waise..
There was an article in TOI recently on the same topic. In the article, writer gave example of alloys which get their strength from impurities and imperfections. he gave example of people like stephen hawking who despite their imperfections are perfect in their own world. :-)
