The quest for perfection

It’s funny how you think you have overcome your naivety at what ever stage of your life you are at, you look back a year or so i think god my head was in my ass but the truth is you thought the same as you do now back then. It seems to be a endless cycle of I'm a better person now, only to find out your was still naive. in my personal experience i have this drive to be perfect, not in looks or physique but as a person, my personality, my morals or ethics and i know this quest of perfection is impossible because who is perfect? depending on your beliefs you could or might say Jesus for example but even the bible states Jesus lost his temper. Buddha left his wife and young child to go find “spiritual enlightenment” and by today's standard he would have been called a bastard for doing that. but this quest for perfection, the want to be a better person is as beautiful as the unattainable goal. so with all this in mind i think its a good thing if we as people can look past some of the mistakes we and other people do and look at the person or ourselves and see if we can see if they or we are trying to become a better person. to cap this off, i might look back at this in a year or so and think god what a load of crap but we will have to wait and see.
