human delima - imperfection

1
All of us yearn perfection and are in continuous effort to strive towards it. Be it technology for making life comfortable, social reform, better standard of living, we are all heading there. Most of us sacrifice a lot so that we can at least dream someday of having a stress- free life for ourselves. I fear that future where everyone would live a perfect life and being human will simply evaporate from us. Obviously this type of perfection is a man-made perfection opposing nature and the very purpose of our existence. So there has to be a necessary "Bad" as without it we no longer will remain human. But Isn't this the complete opposite in reference to our diversity in existence? What if we do not want a better standard of living and the sacrifices that come with it? What if we are compelled to stay with our beliefs and strive to be perfect in what we want to with enduring what is needed to be endured to become who we want to? No doubt its a tough road but this dream if fulfilled can lead to a better satisfaction rather than the man-made generalized satisfaction. The reality can be summed up - without stress there is no thought of a stress-free life. If we were born to feel stress then we will even if we reach a stress-free environment. We are human because of our imperfections - Good/Bad, Precise/UnMethodical, Simple/Complicated. Although, I believe perfection is very close to simplicity. The more simple we are the more close to perfection we can be. Things are complicated but the idea they originate from is simple enough. Therefore its important to understand that idea which begs to understand - what is our purpose here. If we cannot understand this simple enough question, then I think a crash is inevitable.

Imperfections on the human side

TRANSCRIPT

All of us yearn perfection and are in continuous effort to strive towards it. Be it technology for making life comfortable, social reform, better standard of living, we are all heading there. Most of us sacrifice a lot so that we can at least dream someday of having a stress-free life for ourselves. I fear that future where everyone would live a perfect life and being human will simply evaporate from us. Obviously this type of perfection is a man-made perfection opposing nature and the very purpose of our existence. So there has to be a necessary "Bad" as without it we no longer will remain human.

But Isn't this the complete opposite in reference to our diversity in existence? What if we do not want a better standard of living and the sacrifices that come with it? What if we are compelled to stay with our beliefs and strive to be perfect in what we want to with enduring what is needed to be endured to become who we want to? No doubt its a tough road but this dream if fulfilled can lead to a better satisfaction rather than the man-made generalized satisfaction.

The reality can be summed up - without stress there is no thought of a stress-free life. If we were born to feel stress then we will even if we reach a stress-free environment. We are human because of our imperfections - Good/Bad, Precise/UnMethodical, Simple/Complicated. Although, I believe perfection is very close to simplicity. The more simple we are the more close to perfection we can be. Things are complicated but the idea they originate from is simple enough. Therefore its important to understand that idea which begs to understand - what is our purpose here. If we cannot understand this simple enough question, then I think a crash is inevitable.
