Like its said "the pursuit of happiness is the motivation for life"....We never seem to be contented with what we have.We are always focussed on what is wrong with something and our need to fix it...which i guess leads us to feel disgruntled and hence dysphoric.
Why are we always in the quest of something better than we already posses forgetting its something we yearned for sometime ago!!!Perhaps thats the jugular of us the "fallible human beings".
Inspite of the cognizance of the fact that nothing is perfect and nothing is likely to be perfect
why is it so hard for us to make peace with imperfection?Is there really a possible way to do so...or are we just bound to strive in a constant battle of setting things aright and perfect....
Quoting John Lennon-"Life is whats happening while we're busy making other plans".
We incline to postpone our gratifications,our happiness often convincing ourselves that "someday" will be better than today...that "someday" never arrives!!!
Why is it reckoned that the supply of happiness,pleasure and contentment is rationed out and is
not limitless?!!or is it really that way!!
Is striving for imperfection really a worthy goal??!!

its not about imperfection being non acceptable.its like they say-aim for the moon,then you'll at least reach the stars.and contentment to a certain extent discourages us from searching for better alternatives.like they say-the magic in life is lost once you decide that you have everything.you should always strive to be perfect well aware of the fact that you can never be perfect.perfection has to be accepted to be hypothetical.
When you gain happiness and satisfaction, your circle of life is complete...no point in living further.
To strive is real happiness, perfect or imperfect. As long as you want something more, you have a reason to move on. Or your life stagnates.
But when your aims turn to desires and desires are unrealistic, you will be anything but happy or peaceful.
things are actually perfect for some ppl!
