Perfection, it’s quite a word. It’s also something we often demand in others while not admitting our own imperfection.

As many of us grow older we accept our imperfections but still demand it of others, like our political leaders or family. Some won’t even admit to their own imperfections but still demand perfection in others, failing to see the hypocrisy because of the blindness to admit to their own imperfection.

Others of us have grown old enough and have admitted to ourselves if not others that we are imperfect. Old enough in this case isn’t necessarily an age, it may simply be experience. Accepting our imperfections doesn’t mean we don’t still seek perfection, it just means we recognize as a life long journey with many hills and setbacks.

Sometimes we can come together with others and in those moments we can get closer to perfection. An example of this kind of perfection is found often in music.

Where do you recognize perfection?
