79: Wanna be perfect ?!?

Perfection?!? ...what I think of it ? I feel its the most hyped concept that we strive for almost all our lives! 

We crave for perfection in everything...a perfect childhood,  perfect education, perfect job, perfect bride, perfect family, perfect income, perfect children... everything and everyone should be perfect! But definition of perfection of each person can be and infact is always different! Do we consider this possibility while dealing with it?

There is huge onus on showmanship these days. Saw an ad the other day on the TV wherein a girl posts her new taken selfies with pout and waits for more than half an hour for someone to even like it... !! Really, is that what we really live for? A like, A comment, A pat from external world? How far to go in search of something or someone, who would be a trophy for you to display and showcase to world? If you havent yet, please ask this question to you...

I have often heard people say , "oh wow she is so beautiful, it's ok even if she doesn't have brains... our facebook pics would be awesome and so filled of likes and comments.." Really?? That's it?? I can clearly see a good deal of male chauvinism in such statements and at the same time the craving for the attention from the external world..!! I am not saying all men are like this, but majority thinks that way...and that is bothersome!!

Why we always judge people by their looks, and never by what they carry in themselves? Why dont we encourage our kids to try and become bottles which are filled from inside and not an empty beautiful bottle? Why dont we equip them to be confident and wear it on their sleeves ? 

Confidence is one such trait which can really make any person look stunning!! But the onus is more on the perfection..perfection of looks... perfection of how the fotos would turn out with that person...!! 

I do see these type of statements on matrimonial sites, "looking for beautiful, fair , slim , tall and caring girl...". These type of statements really make me cringe at the thought process people have in their minds, in their upbringing and in the thought which is deeply grilled in them that a girl is always pteferred or is a marriage material if she is fair, beautiful , slim , etc...!! She may like to write, she may like to dance, sing, act, create, state and who knows beauty might not even be on her agenda for life, but she is happy, content, has seen life, and there is really more to her than her colour and figure...!! Not sure if they make those type of guys...!!

I think its time, we halt for a while, take a step back, just breathe in the nature around, meet people in flesh, hear from them and just get off the social networking for a while!! 

For a change, lets stop searching for that perfect pic to upload on facebook and watsapp...lets jus create those perfect life moments to cherish for life!!
