Embrace of self

 Embrace of self

We are all a bundle of opposites, contradictions and paradoxes. How we hold together those polarities and see through it is the balance and poise we show up with. One such paradox that has surfaced in me is the idea of perfection. It appears that the ideal of perfection or chasing perfection is what is destroying the planet ! Its a sweeping statement to make but that is the sway i am in these days 😊. This sprint to be the perfect person is earth shattering. There is a typecast of a perfect person and the pressure to become one. why for Gods sake can't we just be ourselves. It is so cruel to be going through a process of putting yourself through a machine to be someone who is considered perfect. The eyes of a mother wouldn't detest the deformity of her child. That is the love ethic. She sees herself in her child. The child is a part of me that is her mind set, the loving kindness. The moment we begin to look for and strive for perfection the loving kindness grinds to a halt. We stop embracing the being and instead look up to that becoming. The humanity ends in this rat race called development. Part of being human is to see oneself in the other person.  On one hand we are setting benchmarks, good practices and SOP's to get there and on the other hand there is this noise to be inclusive, human, saving the planet. I stand my ground: this world is paradoxical . It has to be navigated with the spirit of life.
