'Perfection' / Beauty or Horror
"You look perfect!" What does a person really mean by that? I have not come here to discuss my knowledge on perfection but rather dive into what I think perfection is. Loads say no one is perfect except God, I am a religious person and I agree with that, but I don't want to involve religion in what I am about to say. Let's say you wished you were perfect, perfect eyes, hair, legs, body in general...Would it be a something 'pleasing to the eyes'? I don't think so.
To me perfection is terrifying, having no flaws whatsoever, it almost gives you no means to live anymore in this not-so-perfect world. When I was a senior student in high school and I had my picture for my grad solo portrait taken, honestly, I loved how it came out when I saw it in the camera the day we took the photo but after all the processing, photoshop and stuff, they returned the photos and I looked....almost scary. No flaws, no eye-bags no pimples, I was legit scared to look at my own face. I wasn't the only one, everyone looked at their photos and said "This is not me!". Yes, we have gotten used to our flaws but I believe flaws make man unique. The little freckles some people have makes them...well, them. My huge cheeks have been with me through thick and thin, there was a time I was sick and I was extremely skinny, I didn't like eating, every time I put a peace of meat into my mouth I felt like I was going to choke, but my cheeks were still as chubby. I've come to embrace my flaws to be quite honest and I never want them altered or erased from any photo of me, without them, I may look perfect but I won't be me.
