No one is perfect / myLot

Sometimes we expect too much from ourselves, our colleagues, our workers, etc. Sometimes we demand more than what they're capable of. Expecting people not to make a single mistake. But we're not perfect as what the quote said: No one is perfect that's why pencils have erasers. However, I try to avoid erasing as much as I can.

It’s sad when you see someone desperately trying to keep up the perfection ruse. It’s just impossible. I think simply doing our best keeps the mistakes at bay; a full effort.

I think perfection is an obsession. People want to look perfect. People want to act perfect. People want a perfect life. I think it's being greedy. We are never satisfied.

I understand how you feel. I've been around people who are. I like it when people try for perfection but only in their craft or work and not in their physical appearance. Some longs for perfection too much that they spend money on altering their true physical appearance.

It can be so easy to fall into this whole perfectionism thing. No one is perfect and it's something that we have to accept.

We’re all bound to make mistakes, so it’s better to be a bit more understanding, both with others and with ourselves.

If only we could be understanding at all times. Sometimes our patience become so thin.

@toniganzon True, patience does get thin and nobody's understanding all the time, just like no one is perfect. I just think it’s about being aware of that and still trying to be understanding when we can.

@pitsipeahie Sure but there are several factors as well that we have to consider.
