huh?

ya ya ya no one is perfect except for me ha ha

when you get a little older, you learn to compromise and go a little easier on yourself and others. Promise.

no ones perfect but some people think they are only klipe is perfect

i think we all want to be perfect
huge amounts of time goes into trying to be perfect

if we were more perfect we'd realize that no ones perfect

also that that sentence (the "question") doesn't make any sense and no one will reply intelligently

I'm perfect why isn't everyone else ? By the way couldn't you have worded your question better?

Lifes all about comparisons...If my neighbour has a nice house and car, I'm going to want one too...Everyone wants what everyone else has, and desire is the epitome of the human condition...without out it, we're nothing. We don't strive for anything better, even if that striving is unfulfilable perfection...The only thing you can try and do is be happy with yourself, make peace with the world, and strive to be happy! Things happen, it's life...chin up, smile, and have fun!

Well, one way of looking at perfection is weight. Obviously eating disorders are a large part of media and celebs trying to find the perfect weight.
Or what about when someone creates something? They want it to look perfect. No smudges or extra marks.

So there are two ways to look at perfect lives. How we live and how ourself, body, is perfect.

nobody and nothing is perfect, and when we try it just turns us into fake smiling zombies that have no feelings to show bcuz we have to be perfect, or seem to be perfect to the human eye.

if everyone wuz perfect, what would we do with our lives?
if we had a perfect job, family, friends, relationships??
we'd hav nothing to do and nothing to worth living for.

The real question is what is perfect? I mean, what do we define as perfect? The only sign of perfect that would probably exist is if someone is a God. But honestly, I wouldn't want everyone or anyone to be perfect... Anyhow, I believe all we can do is make the best of our lives... There will probably never be a perfect life

I think we do this because we want that person to be better than us, a better being, someone to look up to. That sense of the 'else' being better make us attractive to them, glorify them, appreciate them that seems so cheerishful.

nothing is perfect, nothing!!!!!

There is no such thing as perfect.... we can chose to be the person we want to be, everyone has different abilities, talents and traits... we groom the ones we require to survive even if it offends others... we have the right to be imperfect yet be perfectly ourself...

"as a child in school i was taught that 'practice makes perfect'. when i got older i learned 'nobody's perfect'.

so i stopped practicing.

nuff said.

So far you are as perfect as you will let yourself be and therefor as perfect as God can make you too. That does not mean that that is the end of it. You can make it better in that you have been given "free will" in case you should decide to make the effort to better your behavior. Like me, I'm about as good or bad as I am going to get, so God has to take me as I am now if He wants. If He doesn't well, I wouldn't be one bit surprised seeing that I am also chronically set in my ways and any change that I make towards a more perfect reality is a real long shot.

We really do not care for anyone to be perfect so long as his/her imperfections do not affect in any way. We just selfishly want others not to have any imperfection that can impact us. However, when our own imperfections affect us, we rarely notice them and try to improve.... mostly we just put the blame on others. Selfish outlook is one of our most potent imperfections and we hardly even recognize it, forget about trying to get out of it.

a good question first of all! yes we expect a lot from others but don't look at ourself first! this reminds me of a very good saying-'when you point one finger towards anyone,three fingers ultimately poins towards yourself! we don't try to improve ourself! but as someone said 'nobody's perfect' so i truly accept that i'm not perfect!

\What's it about, if not about being perfect? I think it's about being genuine. Being yourself. Being open. Showing up. Trying hard. Picking yourself up when you fall down. Admitting it when you're sad. Letting people see you working on things, lumping along as best you can. Making people feel like part of your life. The word accessories comes to mind, in both senses. The bad way is including people like the bag that matches your shoes that matches your scarf, to compose an externally perfect life. That's not how to include people in your life. It's the other kind of accessory, an accessory to a crime, that I was thinking about -- including people in a scheme that may or may not work, letting them in behind the curtain, trusting them to help you, asking for loyalty and admitting your crazy desperate hopes. Making people an accessory to your life, the risks and the rewards, that's what it's about.

None of us are perfect, but some of us see ourselves as such and try to model the world around us and our ideas. This is obviously wrong but it happens. The thing is these people don't see their own flaws, so they come up with stupid excuses , for example someone is bad at a video game, "This is the worst game ever, I am leaving."

I'm not perfect. No one can be perfect. But on what basis and definition is "perfect"?

That aside, people, human, cannot be perfect but LIFE can be perfect.

My life is perfect. I have everything that I could possibly want. I have caring parents who are very much in love, I have a super obedient younger brother, I live in a large house, I have a beautiful garden, I have many friends, I'm in a top course, I am in a state of super health, I have travelled the world, I can go and do anything I want to do. I have everything. The list could go on and on.

People can't be perfect but life can. Is yours perfect? =)

Divine Perfection is so broad and deep that humans can't grasp it in its entirety, and it would be useless to suppose that any one of us could reach it all within this narrow life-span.

What sense is there in requiring another person to have the same perfections as us? If they did, they would also have the same imperfections.

Limitless perfection is something so pure and so unknown... Each of us has a portion of perfection (our own unique talents and compatibilities) to share with the world. That is valuable.

I work constantly at improving my life, and life for my family and friends... and if I (or my life) should ever reach perfection, I think I would die from ennui.

For those seeking perfection there can be no rest this side of grave

who wants everyone to be perfect?

amongst other things, little imperfections help make us the individuals we are. let's be satisfied with trying to be good and caring without letting people like you develop the race into robots.

We are far from being perfect. However,all Christians in any state or walk of life are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of charity. All are called to holiness. "Be perfect,as your heavenly Father is perfect".In order to reach this perfection the faithful should use the strength dealt out to them by Christ's gift, so that....doing the will of the Father in everything, they may wholeheartedly devote themselves to the glory of God and to the service of their neighbour.

no body is perfect...still we waste time on making everything perfect

the only prefect guy/girl on da earth is the one u love!!
u canno find ne-1 else 2 b perfect!!

god bless!!

The way people think of perfection is wrong. No one is perfect there should expect anyone else to be. We put way too much effort in being trying to be perfect. It is OK to try to obtain perfection but have to knowledge to know we never can.

My dear,There is only one way to the perfection and that is to get changed into a dead body.Everyone will say that the body is dead,nothing adding,or deducting.No my friend,what is the need to be so rigid?Even our best of the designs prove to be imperfect with the progression of time and mind.Bless you.RajaSir.http://www.raja-students.blogspot.com http://www.raja-books.blogspot.com

If I am perfect where can I place my Ego.
