I accept that life is not perfect, that people are not perfect, and that there are all sorts of things in the world that disappoint us. many of us expecting for a perfect life and other people try to be a perfect to avoid disappointments in life,but how we really enjoy life without this,and the possible thing that can we do is to accept everything is not a perfect,and every one has weak side and strong side of our personality.

In my opinion,everyone of us may know that life is not perfect because things don't always go as we have expected.However,it is much more difficult for us to treat it in a correct way. We have all kinds of dreams,which make us think that life is perfect.Meanwhile,in our life,we may ask for much,but could not get it.So we become disappointed. To deal with the problem,the best way ,I think ,is to change our attitude towards the world.We are just part of the world,getting things from the world and should obey the objective rules of the world.

I totally agree, qianlizhifeng. Nothing changes until our attitude towards it changes first. We have to make the best of our lives no matter what cards we have been dealt. We can choose to be miserable, and we will be! We can choose to be happy, and we will be! XJane

i don't think anybody actually thinks her life is perfect. like with me, right now is good enough but it can still be better...people are never ever really satisfied with all the things that they have, but i guess acceptance truly is the key, you take the good with the bad and just try to make the best of things.

Though perfect is such a wonderful word,but it is really hard to find a perfect thing, if we can easily find it, then it is not perfect. Should we feel upset and think the life is meaningless if we can't find the perfect one? No, we should accept the reality. There is a story about a man who have entered his 60s, and is still single, because he has been finding his perfect wife. Well, then one day, at last, he think he find his perfect one, and propose to her, but to his disappointed, she refused, because she is trying to find her perfect one. But he is far from her standards to be perfect. So if we just spend our time in find perfect things, then we are wasting our life, and are losing the enjoyment of life.

We can still be happy in spite of imperfections. We have to be reasonable and have an understanding of why things are the way they are. The future will be much better than the present.

I agree, Life is really not perfect. No matter what we do, we still can't have a perfect life. It will only be boring if you try to have a perfect life. No time for fun or time to learn and grow if we wish to have a perfect life. I believe we will grow and learn more from our failures.

Like what you said from the title itself, "Life is not Perfect", we can say that, life is so interesting to live in. Just because it's imperfectness shows how perfect life it is. Why? For example, if we are all rich, seems like,that is perfect, a real perfect strata for everyone. We don't have to work, to think of others etc, can you bear that? That is so boring. If there's no such things as problems, difficulties, trials, well I guess life is nothing but a nonsense thing. Because those imperfections make our life so perfect. And that's the problem with other people, cuz they don't see the brighter side of life. Life is a challenging road, we must take account that we will undergo many ups and downs. So imperfect but perfect. That is sort of adventure. A journey. To some it all, that is LIFE. Enjoy life. Enjoy Mylotting.:)

Life is indeed not perfect. there is sadness, sorrow, disappointment, etc. we just need to learn how to embrace those negativities to get through life. my life is doomed right now. i have been suffering from an ailment that's been making my life miserable for years. as much as i wanted to work offline, i can't. as much as i wanted to travel i can't... argh. school's been delayed due to my ailment. i should have graduated five years ago but here i am, still working my a** off to finish school... i wanted to make my parents proud of me especially my mom. my mom did a great job in becoming both our mother and father. she sacrificed her career to devote her time to us.

Hi asliah! Life is certainly not perfect and there are often things that happen we would never expect from it. I think that when I was younger I had a picture in my mind of a perfect life. It was a picture painted by the things I was exposed to and the way perfect lives were often presented by several things like television, magazines, and people. The thing is that perfect doesn't have to be what those things said it was. Perfect is in the way that you feel and what makes you happy.

Hi asliah, Absolutely as humans we must recognize that although we would love to be perfect it is not going to happen. We may be perfect in some areas but truly we can have some flaws in several other areas. It is when we recognize the flaws that our wanting to be a happier person that we try our best to correct them. If we can accept that as humans we all make mistakes then life gets sweeter. It does not have to please the world so as long as you yourself are pleased and happy. Now asliah, for sometime now I sense a bit unhappiness in your life. I would like to see the happy asliah I met many months ago, dear please join us in your discussions and maybe venting a bit out may allow you to be a bit happier. Do not feel offended, I just want to see the happy asliah I saw several months ago. It has been so long that I miss that. Please take care of you.

Indeed, life is not perfect and neither are we. I don't think there's anyone who is perfect in this world. If we are expecting for a perfect life, i guess we'll have to face disappointment then for it is almost impossible to achieve perfect status in life. Yes, the only way to enjoy life and to be happy is to accept things as they are, be contented with what we have.

Hi asliah, Perfection comes from a thought that is more or less out in the clouds. In philosophy it is called Idealism and those who subscribe to it Idealists. Foremost among them is the Greek philosopher Plato. It may be good but it also bring about a lot of discontentment and frustrations for those who are not prepared to deal with the real world. It is better to seek the beauty in every imperfect thing we encounter and learn to love them: the inconvenience of waking at dawn (I really hate it) but look at the rising sun, the hot summer and the muddy, rainy days but think of the abundant fruits and vegetables it brings... and so on. It may change your outlook and if you are patient, it may change your life as well.

All of us have two sides. One for us and another for others. The definition changes. When we talk in terms of countries each of us will support his/her country. When we talk in terms of States each will talk in terms of his state. When we talk in terms of cities each of us will support his city. When we talk in terms of profession each of us will talk in favor of our profession. Similarly when talk in terms of beliefs each of us will support his belief. No body is perfect. Nothing is perfect. Much depends on tolerance, understanding amongst us.

In my own opinion life is perfect. Its not how the life has been do to us. its all about how we do our life better and appreciate our life that god had given to us.And how we became inspiration to others.

Well indeed life is not perfect. But it is truly worth living. And amidst the imperfections there is beauty. I think the pain and imperfections are seasonings of life. A perfect life is kinda boring I guess.

It is true, life is not perfect... People are not perfect, animals are not perfect, and all the things that we can see here on earth are not perfect... But, do you know who is the only perfect among us, GOD.. He is... Sometimes people has many expectations with their life, they want to their life is a perfect scene and they think that all the things happened to their life is made by them.. Many of us longing to have a perfect life.. Yes, there is a perfect life, to be with God is called a perfect life.... A life full of joy and happiness...
