Perfection and imperfections

Nothing is perfect. An advice so commonly given to people that it has lost its meaning. When asked, everyone agrees. Question is, do their actions coincide with their agreement to this seemingly simple statement?

It happens to all philosophical theories. Well understood but never fully applied.

Again nothing is perfect, we are never exceptions to the rule. Why is it that whilst having clearly understood, the application of these theories in the way we perceive and think is virtually zero? Yes we can be rational and more rational but the soil from where our rationality buds out from has been tarnished by what we call sin.

Regardless of all the rationality you are equipped with, the eyes you see from has been tarnished. The clarity of our vision was never crystal to begin with. Plagued with sin, restlessness and the peripheral effects of the invention of time, we already stray away from God's teachings as we think and live.

We sin everyday but do we realize it?

Countries, systems, the law, they're never perfect. Our country is vexed with racial issues but which country isn't? Laws have loopholes. Our judiciary system is heavily flawed. The grass may be greener on the other side but the grass here is greener than most places. Something to be thankful for.

But can we determine the root of a problem based merely on the imperfections an institution, a school, a country, a system has but not other potential contributing factors? Not wise. Perhaps I'm too heavily 'scienced'. A hypothesis never immediately equates to a conclusion as with no adequate relevant information no analysis can be done and thus no conclusion can be made. Prejudice? Maybe. Another sin.

The seek for perfection deals a great magnitude of damage in ways we can't foresee, too. Defying and disrupting nature has its price. Often exorbitant.

I pray that the world doesn't get any uglier from this point. The world needs healing and people need to be mended.
