....that we grew up with condition us to believe it is possible to have a happy-ever-after. They raise unreasonable expectation that things can get good. Sometimes, very good. Sometimes they can stay good for a long time. But perfection? Well, that's a tricky notion. We aspire to it. We dream of it.
The only time we ever experience it, though, is when we find some way of learning to embrace imperfection. Most people are happy to embrace their own imperfections, yet are intolerant of those they find in others. It can be very challenging to see what's right about what seems so wrong.
There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and
the day we discover why. (William Barclay)
