Imperfection is Perfection
As contradicting as the statement may sound.. it is true if you ponder over it for a bit.. take this for an example.. mountains and hillsides.. when scutinised reveals a rather horrendous sight.. with scars and sharp edges jutting out from all corners, uneven paths marr our efforts in scaling them, the grey-silver of the surface is void of any plant life. then again.. when looked at from afar.. we are mesmerized by it, captivated by its beauty and majesty. they make up our horizon and embed themselves in our scenery making the landscape a joy to look at each morning.
another example would be Mount Fuji. is it not a dormant volcano that has been rumoured to erupt just some time ago? is not the same mountain which attracts thousands of tourists to its doorstep, earning japan a large amount of tourist money?
one last example for the record yea? i'm taking in what we learn in science now.. metal elements itself are strong this i will not agree.. existing in their pure form of elements.. but simply by adding atoms of other elements[larger atoms]..the metal become stronger and is harder to melt or moved out of shape.. this is due to the presence of these foreign atoms which resists the movement of atoms present in the metal as there is irregularity in the structure.. thus the metal becomes an alloy and no longer a pure metal.. Imperfection is Perfection.
this very much applies to us too.. being perfect.. what is it literally? as a 16year old.. a perfect person our age would be one who scores well in his examinations with straight As, one who does not make any trouble, one who never talks in class, one who is never late for lessons, one who obeys every word their parents ask them to, etc.. but wouldn't that be a boring life? this i am sure even parents and teachers would agree unaminously.. the imperfections we have from the PERFECT 16year old is practically what makes us perfect... doing well in our studies not necessarily straight As would be out academic side["perfection"] and our silly anthics that makes our friends laugh and makes us fun to be with, all the suaning.. bitching, scamming, nonsensical jokes, extreme cases of laughter..what i come to know as "jamil disease".. yes he laughed for 30min++ in sec 2..so these would be the "imperfections".. but.. does that make us not the perfect friend? the perfect child? perfect student? nope.. we are perfect.. as long we dun step over our lines and make the "imperfections" extreme.. [refering to the troublemakers]..no offence ppl..
then again.. this is only how i look at it.. from a student's point of view.. what parents and teachers see is yet another story.. but i am sure some of the points mentioned here in this entry crosses with the expectations set by our "superiors".
and so the countdown continues.. O lvls looms closer once more with just a little more than 3months before practicals commences.. marking the start of the biggest exams in our life yet.. ALL THE BEST PPL..
