It is OKAY to be IMPERFECT

Learn to enjoy your IMPERFECT life

Take something irregular, rough-hewn, off-kilter, incomplete…and it’s all the more desirable for its flaws.– Oliver Burkeman

Acceptance of imperfection

Well said by someone. Imagine a vase or some compliment item with a crack in a fancy store. Would you buy that for presenting someone you love? If you do... then you are  living as a wabi-sabi, knowingly or unknowingly.

Or imagine a garden with roses and on the other hand a garden with just fallen leaves and thorns. Which one would you call beautiful??

Wabi-Sabi

The Japanese art of imperfect beauty. Accepting the natural cycle of growth and decay in which everything has beauty.

Beauty is seen in everything. The things or person we consider as beauty-less are just subtle, not ugly. If you wanna be a wabi-sabi culture follower, you should have the ability to see beauty which might be hidden or subtle.

Even accepting death is a form of this. Who said beauty lies in birth and not in death??

Relationships in wabi-sabi are also weirder. As they tend to see goodness in everything, rectification of flaws also don't take place here. The partners accept their better half along with the flaws in them. They don't even give a try to make a change in them.

Normal people tend to see beauty in their eyes. But what about people having visual challenge? By other means they are also a part of it, by sensing beauty through their spirits and soul wide opened.

Conclusion:

What is perfect? Who is perfect?

We as humans, with an un-quenching thirst are trying to find a perfect way for everything. But in reality there is no meaning or measurement for perfect. All lies in our imagination.

So why to give so much importance to this meaning less thing "perfection"?

There is a crack, a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in. (Leonard Cohen)
