All living things in this world, including us human beings, are organic in nature, which means that they are growing, dying or transforming, thus changing constantly. Change is work in progress, imperfect in form and outcome. If something is perfect, it means that it has stopped growing and transforming itself; implying that it is no more living; it has become static and dead!
Life is a series of experiences we have from moment to moment. Our experiences with the same person can be so different depending upon the time and situation. So we all know perfection is not possible in the grand scheme of life. No matter how wonderful, happy, or peaceful our life is, it's never going to be perfect. If we are constantly trying to be perfect, then we lose on having real experiences in our lives.
This desperate search for perfection comes to us at a cost. We pay a high price of perpetual dissatisfaction with ourselves as well as with others. We have to realize soon enough that there is no such thing as a perfect life. We might have a great life (in terms of accomplishments); we might have a happy life (in terms of successful relationships, financial stability). But no one will have a perfect life. This is a fact we must all accept and embrace.
So for 'living' we need not be perfect and if we are 'perfect', we are not living. Knowing that life will never be perfect, and so we will never be perfect, takes a lot of the pressure off from us.We can start living by being the best we can be, rather than struggling all the time to achieve perfection!
If no change life is monotonous.
