What is perfection? The dictionary defines the word "perfect" as being without any kind of blemish. Many argue that the world we live in is without any kind of perfection. This view, however, is wrong and without any thought. True perfection or the idea of being perfect isn't a one way view of the world; this concept is much like beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder. For instance, for many the beauty their spouse gives off is perfect, even if everyone else doesn’t see that in them. If you have a true love for your life and have no complaints, one might go as far as to say that you have a perfect life…without blemishes or complaints.

 Most of us look at the word “perfect” and automatically assume it constitutes that everything we try or everything we do happen exactly as we like it to. Take something as simple as going to the local grocer. Now analyze the situation. Any stop-signs, stoplights, pedestrians, traffic accidents, any of that could affect when you actually make it to the grocer. In the way most people assume the nature of “perfect” to be, one would hope they have all green lights and zoom through traffic without any trouble. The truth is that we blend hope and perfect together into a literary amalgamation of a concept that is impossible. We need to take the hope out of perfect and realize that perfect IS quite possible, and it’s all around us.

 “Perfect” is person-specific. That is to say that what one person perceives to be perfect might be imperfect to someone else. As stated earlier, perfect is in the eye of the beholder, much like beauty. We are only human, and each of us have our flaws, but how we see the world on an individual basis is what helps us realize just how perfect our own world can be.
