Flawed Perfection

Living in a world that admires perfection is hard, because as humans we are naturally flawed. Flawed in many ways, whether it be physical or mental. So what does a person do when all their flaws are put in front of them? How are they supposed to alter themselves to fit this idea of perfection so as to not irritate those they care about? If anything, one should change themselves for themself, to become a better person. Unfortunately, what if you happen to like yourself the way you are, but people around you do not. Should you change yourself for them? The question is how much of yourself are you willing to change? As humans, we continue to look for flaws, no matter how miniscule and tiny it may be, old ones may fade away, but someone will always point out other new flaws. This inevitably leads to a slippery slope, because you would never be able to achieve this goal of perfection because no one person is perfect. Yet knowing this fact does not prevent journalists from capping the unfortunate performance of Britney Spears and her "weight", nor does it prevent people from scrutinizing others by what they wear or how they look.

I now question if my path and perspective in life is the correct way. This path is what leads my pessimism. My constant look towards negativity in whatever situation I am in. My sarcasm and humor that causes pain to others so as I can deflect and shield myself from pain; a way to mislead people away from my true insecurities. Maybe, to become a better person like Chopz (my best friend) pointed out, is to have a more optimistic view on life. Instead of judging a person immediately by their flaws, why not point out their merits and their strengths. What makes them a good person, as oppose to what makes them so "bad". We as a society are so focused on the negativity that we take advantage of the good things in life that we have that many others barely even get to experience in a lifetime.

So my question for you people who are reading this is:
" If all the flaws that you had were laid out in front of you, would you be willing to change it? What flaws do you have now that you wish you could change? "
