There is no such thing but we develop a view on top of it
No such thing as perfect. The most is to get the best out of what you can. Well, but first of all, what you want and what you can? Most of the times we don't really know the answer. We just follow the flow and assume we want the same thing and with the same thing life can be perfect. I believe only a few know what they want at the beginning. The majority have to get through trials and errors. Sometimes trials and errors do not help you get the answer though. Just to make you tired and confused. The concept is applicable to many things. You name it. You thought this is the end of the talk? You are wrong. A lot to come. Followed by this thought, I got another idea. The idea is about desire. You don't really know what you want. But you have desire. You don't know perfect. But you want more. You want to have something better because you used to have something amazing. You know nothing but you keep building your desire on top of something vague. You look at what you posses. If you just have a so so thing, then you will not be that greedy. You just want to get a thing better than so so. I think appetite to anything can be developed. You like sweet so that you always keep an appetite for sweet. First time, one piece makes you happy. Two pieces make you thrilled. Then one piece is not enough, two pieces are not enough, you gradually demand more and more. At least in this case you know you like sweet. What if you don't really know if you like the sweet? You want the sweet because the advertisement told you the sweet is fantastic? How sad. You got a good salary. You got a raise. You feel your future is bright. Then you become disappointed. You heard others got a big raise and you want to have it too. A thousand is not enough. You look forward to ten thousands. You own a place. You like it. You are proud of it. You feel comfortable with living in it. Then you go to a friend's place. You realize how doomed your place is. You become unhappy. You met a person. You are happy. Then you heard many stories. Fantasies. Fairy tales. You become unsure. You wonder if there is such thing as perfect relationship. Your desire makes you unhappy. Then ruin your little piece of mind. Demand is endless. Your desire piles up quickly. But is it you to lead your life? Do you know?
