A new blog to contain answers to prompts |
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas "  became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one. Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.  |
| Prompt: "There is always a but in an imperfect world." Anne Bronte Write about this in your Blog entry today. ----------- Hahaha! This quote or rather that cynical "but" made me laugh. Anne Bronte or the character she made to say this must have been a perfectionist. I can just picture it. Whoever said it must have added a sigh at the end of her utterance, too.  Of course, there's always a flaw, a nick, a misstep, or a stumbling over something in life. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here, would we? Just think, so many people on this earth and if we were all perfect, we'd look, feel, act, and be the same all around. Boring? Yes, but even more than that. We'd learn nothing! Perfection trips us all the time. None of us want to make a mistake, and even when we make mistakes, we have either extenuating circumstances or we are unaware of what we are doing or saying. We always want to make sure we’ve got everything right. We need to look our best, don't we! This, however, is not reality, is it? Truth is, we're all completely and perfectly imperfect. Luckily! In that vein, imagine the possibilities if we really embraced our imperfections. To begin with, our inner critics would end up with a sore throat and they wouldn't and couldn't make their voices heard. Yay! We'd also hesitate to go after what we want and what we need. As an example, there would never be a Writing.com in existence. Come to think of it, I'd have a rather dull time without WdC. Then, any seemingly perfect situation, say a perfect job, can have a flaw, too, like a demanding boss, long hours, or low pay. Even in relationships, "but" could refer to small or big differences between partners that need work and understanding. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to deal with another replica of myself.  There are. therefore, always tradeoffs and nuances in life to complicate our time here; however, without them, everything would be so dull! In short, any positive is never so simple and most any "but" adds color to an otherwise black and white world. |
