I’ve seen what happens when we pretend to be perfect. When we pretend that we’re better than others, we kill off our true humanity. And when we do that, we actually end up perpetuating the very same problems we’re tying to end. We love to tell all about our greatness, and we shy away and hide from our not-greatness – and it makes a mess. The first thing this does is disconnect us from ourselves. We have to be authentic and embrace the fact that we’re imperfect beings trying to be on this planet and in this world with each other. If we don’t own and embrace our own humanity, we end up perpetuating more violence against one another while we’re trying to create a more peaceful world, and it will not work.

There is no chaos. Every happening is result of myriad of chain reactions. Perfection is a matter of ego, it is illusion, simply missing a preconceived, fabricated mark is the perceived “lack of perfection” There is No perfection. Thoughts in accordance with; in alignment with feelings is the best we can achieve here. You are a righteous fire in the hearts of many people. Remember..
THE LATE GREAT PHYSICIST Steven Hawking once said – and it was the most enlightening message I have heard coming from a genius as he was, and that is; “we are not perfect
because the universe is not perfect. This is a scientfic variable fact. The universe was created ‘out’ of imperfection; not perfection. For if the universe were perfect, the universe that we live in today would not exist. Hence we would not exist.” Then he went on to explain ‘how’ the universe “scientifically” was created OUT of imperfection. It was DEEEEP!!!
Jules I hope your good babe! Remember what Steve Hawking said. “Life” does not stem from perfection, but born out of im-perfection.
So true Richard. Thanks for sharing.
