Imperfect? So be it...

While we are breathing we want to breathe clean air.

If possible we want our air to be perfect

But there are so many impurities in the air.

Sometimes we face haze and high levels of pollution.

Do we stop breathing because of this imperfection? 

While we are loving, we want the people we love to be good

We want all our social contacts including family members 

to be as close to perfect as possible

When we are confronted with their numerous imperfections,

do we stop loving. 

It was Osho, comparing breathing to loving

Loving is a part of our human nature

as essential for our happiness as breathing is for our survival

Our ego gets all too often in the way 

Our ego wants to be superior and inhibits love

Our ego wants to win and show our superiority

while happiness resides in humility

Let us be clear about this in our minds and

be always aware about the huge importance of love

about the huge importance of plainly accepting imperfection

None of us is perfect. We ourselves are imperfect.

Our spouse/partner is imperfect, our parents and siblings are imperfect

Our extended family, our friends, our neighbours, all imperfect

At the same time there is so much good to be found

in each and everyone.

Let us focus on the good things, not let imperfection get in the way of love...
