We s human beings are bound to make mistakes. As there is a saying "To err is human and to forgive is Divine". If nobody is exceptional for that saying, Can we admit to our self. We always seek perfection from other without considering that nobody is perfect. Bu we can improve our imperfections if we are willing. Such as if you have weakness in one aspect of your life, you can compensate it with working hard to excel on your strength. Many person have been successful in doing that, that's the reason why people look upon them since they can manage to accept that and do something to compensate it. God's glory is enough for us, we don't need to be perfect because if we are, then we won't be needing Him anymore. Personally I struggle a lot to accept my imperfections because when I compare myself to others I feel insecure because. And this is what I want to manage, I want to accept and love myself as I am. How about you? Can you really admit your imperfections? Why?

Love, hate, talk, lie, run, basking, I dream, I hope. Live. I'm just a man. Imperfect, because I did not like to be perfect. "I do not want or can not, " comes to a song. I could not enjoy life if I would be perfect. I would be too demanding and I always seek perfection. I would not have moments of rest and relaxation that I am in constant search. What would bother me, I would drain the power, would make me forget the beauty of simple things. I forget which is the charm of commonplace things. I always tend upward. I reach the heights, and eventually I would collapse with dizzying speed. I would bump powerful reality of imperfection. And it hurt bad ... !

Hello. How are you ? That is a very wise thought and a wise question. "To err is human", and indeed, no one is perfect. I shall be always prepared to admit of the things I err, and of the things I am not good at. "Honesty is the best policy" too. In fact, knowing of the imperfection is the way to start making improvements on that. If one does not recognize the imperfection, one just would not attempt to improve at all.
