How to stop trying better when perfect is not good enough
-
On one hand of the iceberg somebody calls out loud for the need of imperfection — on an island without its own natural resources and depends on diplomatic ties and conservative policies for survival Singapore has learnt to seek perfection in everything and everybody from the way we live eat and talk to alot of how-tos such as why we get married and how we select our hdb apartment flats — everything in Singapore has been tredded and documented and even bugs are heck not our real fault it is just the way the world is “all softwares have bugs” — unknown IT geek.
Turn around the iceberg and you see on the other side still alot of dilemmas, paradoxes, ironies, unexplanable phenomena or like the Buddhist Diamond Sutra adaeptly put
“All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles or shadows; like drops of dew, or flashes of lightning; thusly should they be contemplated.”
.. What should we do when one day we woke up and realise that everything is perfectly alright including the toilet that ran out of paper and smells of urine from my hangover last night? So it is so it is, why, and it is because there is wisdom in a paperless toilet (ah this is what happens when we do not prepare enough toilet rolls in the store) and there is caring concern in a floor that is flooded with bladdery-discharge (this is how my body is really like it is just a container for filth).
Perhaps i should take my dinner since I have digested more or less the
Chinese New Year prawn rolls which my grandmother stored in her
Tupperware for the past month what a crisp the prawn rolls were! -
WAT?
