Perfectionists worry themselves excessively, if they do not achieve the ideal solution. They are unhappy if they do not see the ideal behavior in their relationships, both, in their private lives as well as in their work places. They cannot accept partial solutions. They are most uncomfortable, if they do not get 100% successes or 100% solutions to all their problems. They torture themselves for a thing that they also realize that they cannot obtain in practice. Yet, they allow themselves to suffer incessantly. They get pricked constantly inside. They have no internal peace and happiness.
Imperfections are inherent in Nature. As long as the world exists, there will be imperfections - and struggles and changes.
Do try your best to overcome imperfections in yourself. While doing so, accept yourself as you are. If you succeed in getting rid of an imperfection, others will come to surface – a solved imperfection would never leave a vacuum behind. A new imperfection would instantly surface in its place. Overcome them too and do not complain if you cannot overcome them.
Imperfections drive you and the society to change. “A static society is a condition of arrested development”. There must be always be a force, which drives you to change for the better. That is why “opposition” and “competition” are welcomed.
Unless you are willing to be practical and tolerate imperfection in yourself as also in others, you will be constantly burning inside. Worrying about imperfection will only be adding to your inventory of "dirty" problems. This worry is a self-inflicted distress and it contributes heavily to the poor quality of your life.
