No. I guess it really doesn't. I simply ran my finger across the keyboard and I left it. It doesn't make sense and not much does in this world. And the truth is that the sooner we accept that as a fact the sooner we will be as happy as we can be.
Sure there are things that we think make sense. Like 2+2=4. Even that simple equation is pretty confusing though. Who the hell decided 4 came after 3 which came after 2? I'm certain that 4-2=2, but I'm not sure why I'm so sure of it.
I know that the sun will rise tomorrow and I don't understand how it does, but I'm glad it does.
I'm sure that not a single person on this planet is perfect, yet I think that each of us can be perfect in a certain situation. In the modern era of baseball 21 different pitchers have been "perfect" on a given day. People can describe a day as "perfect" or a moment as "perfect".
Just like a perfect game a perfect situation has tens of thousands of things that have to happen for it to end up the way it does. Whether it's a diving catch or a chance meeting it has to happen for something perfect to emerge.
We're all imperfect. It's in our nature to make mistakes and be flawed.
The thing I'm not sure of is if it's also in our nature to seek out the things that exploit our flaws or the things that bring us closer to perfection. Perfection can come and go in a flash of brilliant light or it can remain ablaze and constant for us to bask in like a warm summer's sun.
I know I'm not perfect and you aren't either. I know he isn't perfect and she isn't perfect. That doesn't mean that they can't be perfect or we can't be perfect though. Perfection is too often used to describe things that aren't attainable. There is perfection all around us.
I won't be perfect for everyone and everyone won't be perfect for me, but I like to think I've found a little piece of perfection in my life.
You get to create your definition of perfection. Then after you create it you get to pursue it. Over time the definition will change and so will you. Your constant search for "perfection" will show you just how flawed you are. That's something you'll have to accept. You'll find 100 things imperfect in your search, but if you're lucky, which I think everyone is, you'll find that perfection.
It's there, somewhere amidst the twenty-six letters in the title of this blog you can find perfection.
And it's somewhere in your life too. You just need to start looking.
