We do not need perfection, but we do need completeness!

Dear Readers,

Thank you for coming here!


Life is fair. When you stop giving a fuck about something, you will get time and energy for something else.

So I had time to catch up with friends again.

It is nice to get updated on their lives and work. Furthermore, I get answers to some of my questions I have been struggling with.

Last but not least, I get inspired.

One of them told me this during a chat:

We do not need perfection, but we do need completeness!

What does this mean?

Perfection means we live in a perfect world where everything turns out perfect for us.

Completeness, on the other hand, means we get to experience all sorts of things, incidents and feelings.

It includes both perfection and imperfection. (No one can challenge the MECE-ness of this statement. Haha!)

That means things may turn out perfect from time to time. 

More importantly, that means we will surely experience hurt, frustration and now knowing what to do, etc etc

Otherwise, completeness is not achieved.

A life that is incomplete is a life wasted, at least to some extent. 

And only after we have experienced them all, can we say our lives are complete!

Therefore, with that in mind, let’s expect and welcome all the positive and negative things in life and focus on the experiences.

 

Till next time!

  1. Perfection seems to be something that is complete and therefore beautiful, hence the word: 完美. Notice you have no market transactions recently - does this mean you are not subscribing to the Singapore Savings Bond? You might want to consider, since can redeem at any time.

    1. Agree that that is also one way to describe Perfection! Thank you!

      I actually never subscribed to SSB. The return is quite low. I would rather pump that money to CPF.
