Perfection

We all know that perfection can never be attained. Nothing is perfect in nature and there are no perfect people. I have been mulling this over in the labryinthine corners of my mind because of the perfectionists in my family. They put such pressure on themselves. I am reminded of a few words from one of my favorites:

"Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There's a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in"
Leonard Cohen

Nuff said.

I wrote a post "Needing Perfection" on MyBloggers a while back.
I didn't want to do it on Blogster where my friends sometimes
visit because it was about them. Those who criticize
your errors are usually oblivious to their own.

Some perfectionists seem to expect perfection from others, but not from themselves, or at least that's the way it seems to those of us who think we are easygoing. I do like my pillowcases and towels folded a certain way, but don't refold them after other people try to be helpful.

sadly, I waste every day sitting at work rotting away...

The most contemptible and obnoxious people are the ones who think they're perfect.
