PERFECTION
This to me is one of, if not the most misunderstood terms in life. I've heard many times, Why can't things just be perfect. Or, in a perfect world, it would be---- (fill in the blank).
Perfect to most people is a personal, yet misconceived, idealization of what they think something should be. Others may agree to a certain extent. But no way will everyone ever agree on what perfect should be. And that is because, in the human mind, perfect is just a personal idealization of their own desire.
I believe perfection lives in the fact that nothing can be or exist if the circumstances or conditions are not perfect for it to happen. What I mean by that is, cause and effect, perpetual motion, and energy transfer, as well as other things, CREATE. So events and actions of past and present moments, create things in the future. Sometimes the connection is noticeable, sometimes not. You may even be able to connect something to an event from years past, maybe even millennia ago. But even if you don't, I can assure you, all things evolved into being from past events so long ago that we could never comprehend. If one thing was different, all things would be different. But we wouldn't know because we live in the aftermath of what did happen and what it created. And that creation can only be what it is. Therefore, perfect because it cannot be anything else.
Now. Each present moment is what it is. We can't change the now. But every living creature with the ability to think, can make decisions. These decisions will create something in the future. If we are selfish and not thinking of all things, we are creating our own perfect world. Which may not be perfect for others. Yet it will effect the future for everyone eventually. Even hundreds and thousands of years into the future.
For me, keeping the thought that my present moment has been created by so many things from so long ago. It allows me to be more accepting of my current situation. I see it as a perfect moment that was set into motion many moons ago. And even when something comes up to where I may want to blame someone for what happens. It allows me to stop and accept, or be more compassionate instead of blaming.
I always say, "in the moment, the why is the least important thing." But in that moment, we can make choices. These choices effect not only our future, but the future of all things. Creating the new. Which again, can only be what was allowed to be by previous moments in the past. Therefore "perfect" still. It may be different and always changing. But it's always perfect because it can't be anything else.
I think if people stop trying to create a perfect world, or perfect situation, and see that it is what it is and can only be what it is due to the moments that created it. Then maybe they might see that all things truly are, perfect in every way.
I don't know what the benefits or consequences would be to that. But I do know that having this outlook in my life provides me with more peace and less conflict. It allows me to be more accepting and less irritated, therefore less confrontational. I also feel like I see more choices and opportunities in what life throws at me. Which removes the restricted feelings of being trapped and allows me to freely Express myself.
For those of you who read this. You have a great soul and I thank you for connecting with me in this perfect moment. May you all find peace in these words.
