Complex Perfection

I was talking to Cj, a friend of mine, the other day. And he gave me an idea of a Rant... Perfection. What is Perfection? Perfection is an ideal setting for a given scenario, person, etc. The thing is, there is no set example of Perfection. That is the one thing that is truly beautiful about Perfection. It allows for creativity, it gives you what you want. You make with it what you will, and YOU have the right to define it. Ready for a few examples?

Let's start with relationships... What are the traits you would want to find in your "Perfect" significant other? Me, I'd want someone sweet, giving, thoughtful, kind, gentle, intelligent, simple. Someone honest and trustworthy, someone who is themselves and is completely comfortable with it. Someone open, caring and surprisingly resourceful. Yet someone who doesn't flaunt their skills and try to show off and be better than everyone else. Someone that has respect and sticks up for what they believe in. That's a lot to ask for isn't it? lol (I got him tho!) I asked a friend of mine, Matt, what he though was perfect traits for his ideal girl. He gave me a few things... "Witty, creative, attractive, cunning, caring, charismatic." Kimberly gave me this, "sympathy, respect, response, security, support, and that feeling that they would go to the end of the earth for you and back if they had to." Josh got a little more specific... "She would love football, hates the jags just so we can fight about them. Kinda like video games but is not obsessed with them. Is smart, witty, funny, and has a job and wants to go somewhere in life." Can't argue with that one... Samantha responded with this.. "From my experience, it's not about looks or how many friends he has, or how 'cool' he looks when he takes you out....when it comes down to it, the perfect qualities in a guy are honesty, loyalty, and someone who's authentic and real. it's hard to find, but that's what I think at least." High five to that one! lol. Anyways.. Here's what was said when I asked about a Perfect evening...

Tina said that her idea of a perfect evening is "Him [Jake, her husband] making dinner without me having to ask. Just being able to sit and watch TV with him for a while without any one annoying us." Simple enough. A basic down to earth idea of a perfect evening. Then I asked Ray what he thought would be a perfect dinner date. This is what he said. "An ideal dinner date for me would be dinner at a really relaxed atmosphere restaurant (Chilis or Fridays). Then, maybe walking around the city, having some coffee or seeing a good flick that's out." Again, it's simple. This time it involves going out and being active not just staying home. Then I asked Megan... "Chillin out reading a book with a Smirnoff in one hand and a pack of cigs in the other with Sexi men with no shirts catering to my every need...that's a perfect evening." So... some of us like the more drastic things, huh? lol The last person I asked was Karina. Here's her response, "When everything flows well regardless of sticking to plans or not. There is no awkwardness and everyone is sincerely enjoying each others company. It doesn't matter what your doing as long as you have those things going for you."

See how everyone has their own idea of Perfection? How you make it what you want. It's your treasure, your goal, your secret, your wish.. everything about it is what you make it out to be. There is no one to tell you that your Perfection is wrong. Its a complete toss up, you're own fantasy. Perfection is amazing as it has no limitations. "Our body hungers for perfection, our heart desires for perfection, our mind reaches perfection. We must seek perfection, touch perfection, and feel perfection." What's your Perfection?
