This is why You cannot be imperfect!
Curated perfection
In the age of social media, we are constantly bombarded with images and narratives of seemingly perfect lives. Influencers and celebrities curate carefully constructed feeds that depict flawless bodies, lavish vacations, and effortless success. The underlying message is clear — in order to be worthy, admired, and fulfilled, we must strive for a level of perfection that is not only unattainable, but deeply against the true nature of the human design.
As we scroll through these meticulously manicured feeds, it’s easy to feel a sense of inadequacy creeping in.
Why can’t my life look that put-together?
How do they manage to travel the world and still maintain a thriving career?
What am I doing wrong that my body doesn’t resemble theirs?
The problem with this mindset is that it directly contradicts the fundamental design of life itself. But what if this very pursuit is fundamentally misaligned with the true nature of our existence?
The creator of the universe has intentionally left an element of imperfection woven throughout the fabric of existence.
This incompleteness is not a flaw to be corrected, but rather a crucial feature that serves to keep us grounded, humble, and ever-striving towards growth and transformation.
The creator of the universe has designed life in such a way that even with all-around success, he leaves the picture of life somewhere consciously incomplete.
Our internal falsification
As we look around at the world and our lives, it’s easy to be struck by the incredible complexity, beauty, and seeming perfection of it all. The natural world is a symphony of intricate ecosystems, the human body a marvel of biological engineering, and the vastness of the universe beyond our planet is both humbling and awe-inspiring.
With so much grandeur and precision, it can be tempting to assume that the creator of this all-encompassing reality must have designed it to be flawless.
The divine magic
Think about your own life for a moment. No matter how successful you may be, how much you have accomplished, or how many of your goals you have achieved, there is always something that remains unfinished or unfulfilled. Perhaps it’s a personal relationship that is strained, a health issue you are struggling with, or a lifelong dream that has yet to come to fruition.
These “imperfections” are not accidental — they are a fundamental part of the human experience.
It is in the struggle to overcome these imperfections that we find our greatest opportunities for transformation and transcendence. The challenges we face force us to tap into our inner reserves of resilience, creativity, and faith. They compel us to reach out to others for support and to cultivate a deeper sense of humility and gratitude.
Perfection is only an illusion
Time and again, we encounter individuals who have scaled the heights of success, only to find themselves grappling with an inexplicable void. It’s as if the creator of the universe has deliberately left a piece of the puzzle missing, a constant reminder of our inherent imperfection.
Is ‘He’ not benevolent?
But why would a benevolent creator design such a system? Why instill in us a hunger for completeness while simultaneously ensuring we never quite reach it? The answer, I believe, lies in the profound wisdom of imperfection itself.
Imperfection serves as a humbling force, a counterbalance to the human tendency towards hubris. It reminds us that no matter how far we’ve come, how much we’ve achieved, there is always room for growth, always more to learn.
In a universe of infinite possibilities, the acknowledgment of our own limitations becomes not a source of frustration, but a wellspring of wonder and curiosity.
‘His’ idea is flawless!
Rather than viewing this incompleteness as a flaw in the design, we can choose to see it as an invitation. An invitation to remain open, to continue exploring, to resist the stagnation that comes with believing we have it all figured out. Each unfinished aspect of our lives becomes not a shortcoming to be overcome, but a doorway to new experiences, new understandings, new depths of being.
In a world that often celebrates grandiosity and excess, the subtle reminder of our own incompleteness serves as a powerful grounding force.
Life, it seems, is a beautiful dance of paradoxes. We are simultaneously complete and incomplete, perfect in our imperfection.
What I realize now is that, in the end, perhaps the greatest masterpiece is not a life lived in pursuit of perfection, but one lived in full embrace of the beautiful, messy, incomplete reality of our existence. In this acceptance, we may find a completeness far more profound than any we could have imagined.
The creator of the universe, in their infinite wisdom, has given us a canvas that can never be fully filled, a story that can never be fully told. And in doing so, they have given us the greatest gift of all: the endless possibility of becoming.
Thanks and respects to all!
