DREAM DATUM

On Perfectionism 'Perfectionism' is a most prevalent belief in our civilization. Note I used the word 'belief'. Everywhere in this world of ours, perfectionism is regarded as good while imperfection is bad. Everybody wants everybody else to be perfect. Is Perfection really an absolute value? I think not.
In my opinion, it is relative and is borne of human conception. Perfection is an idea. Things are the way they are. Perfection and imperfection are attached values. Get the picture? I am not suggesting that perfectionism is not good. I am suggesting that perfectionism can cast a controlling net over our expression of happiness. You can reach the required goal with or without being a perfectionist. To be a perfectionist, on the other hand, leave very little room for one to accept and love oneself un-conditionally when a desired goal is not met.
Herein lies the paradox of life: How can one have perfect peace, self-love and joy when one is a perfectionist? Search this website
