I am sure you have heard yourself or others say “in a perfect world ….”
I have always wondered, what it really means when we use “if everything were perfect…… “
Is there no death or birth?
Where there is no teacher or nobody needs to learn
Where is no shortage of food or is there no need to eat
If everyone gets paid fairly – who decides what is fair?
Do you and your boss agree on what is fair raise?
Is it a place where the weather or no summer and winter
Will our favorite team always win or there are no sports
If you dig deep into this question – you will be surprised where you may land.
In the end, you will probably ask what is the meaning of the word perfect. I t will be then a matter of definition than it meaning anything at all.
Can you ever have light without darkness or good without evil? Can there be anything at all without its opposite being present? Can there be anything perfect without imperfection?
If we go a little deeper, we see that what is perfect for me is another man’s imperfection.
Even what is perfect for me may not be perfect the next day.
We all know the agony of a lover in paradise when his love is not with him.
This world is neither perfect nor imperfect or it is both perfect and imperfect at the same time.
The world just is. At this moment in the war, peace in life, and death in health and disease.
This moment
Wonderful moment
Wrong or right
All in mind
Superior Inferior
Mind’s ploy
Life and death
I hold it in my hands
Disease and Death
Life’s eternal friends
Mine or yours
Is the game of card
Everyone
Is
my closest one
Life’s dance
is
A wonderful illusion
