subject: Perfect Things [print this page] Have you ever wondered what makes something perfect? Well I have, and I realized that perfectness is personal, meaning that what one considers to be perfect, might be far from perfect in someone elses eyes. Perfect derives from personal taste and personal taste is something that evolves with time. I know that when I was a little girl, I used to consider pink wallpaper as something utterly perfect for my room. At this point of my life, pink wouldnt be my first choice. We are highly affected by the media, too. Media is trying to incept different images of perfectness: the perfect body, the perfect home, the perfect car, the perfect dinner and the list goes on. No matter how strong the troops of media are, I encourage you to look for your own conception of perfectness and think whether it is reasonable or not.
For me perfectness in people is personality, compassion and wits, in material things it is about usability and design. When it comes to choosing my soul mate, the person whom I would like to marry, I look for qualities like trustworthy, compassion and humor. I cant say it is easy, but I would rather be single than settle for someone who doesnt love me the way I deserve to be loved. When it comes to material, the latest thing I bought that combined both usability and design was a fireplace. I found my perfect fireplace at Uunisept when I went on their website. Few days later when I went to Uunisept store I was even surer about my decision because I got informed about the engineering and usability, too, which are top notch. So, I was pleased to have found material perfectness in the form of a fireplace from Uunisept.
For those who demand a lot of themselves, the quest for inner and outer perfectness might become too much and too consuming. It is good have the passion and drives to do things and have targets in life but those shouldnt be too rigid either. Whether it is about material thing or about your own pursuits, remember that it is important to know the limit between a healthy pursuit of perfectness and the one that goes over the limit.
