This is how it is.

Wherever you are, if someone expresses any disagreement or makes a "not so friendly comment" you'll always find someone who would say "If you don't like it, go away!" but, is that even right to say? I mean, sometimes you can like something but not everything about it. In my opinion, that applies to most things, at least a 99% of things, if you have a brain and use it.

Not everything is black or white, on the contrary, most things are in gray scale never reaching 100% white nor 100% black. Meaning: Most things aren't completely good nor completely bad.

Yes, that applies to people too.

For example; Overall, I think Lady Gaga is overrated and her songs sound the same or as recycled songs from the 80s and her fashion is just a cry-out-loud: LOOK AT MEEEE!. She must have been a very insecure kid... Anyway! That doesn't mean I don't enjoy 2-3 songs of her (I said she's overrated not completely useless :p ), and that doesn't make me a hypocrite. I don't hate her or anything, I keep things real.

Nothing and no one is perfect. That just happens in Disney fairytales and we all know they aren't real (if you didn't know that you fail at life). There, either you are completely bad or completely cute and good, and awesome and all that. And both extremes are wrong. Well, I do actually dislike more the goody-goody good than the bad ones, I think it's mostly because people worry so much about being good and perfect according to what others think is being good and perfect. We all saw Enchanted (if not, go see it!), that doesn't work very well in the real world. Specially because, in real life, there is no CG animals that will clean and sew horrible dresses for us.

Like all those ancient stuff about Karma and the Ying-Yang. There is good and evil in everyone but, honestly, I don't like saying "evil", that just makes you feel bad and want to reject it. We all are imperfect and our job during our lifetime is to learn from our imperfections and be the best each of us can be. I didn't say perfect! because perfection doesn't exist and if it did then ask yourself this: Perfect according to who? Your mom? Your dad? Your hot neighbor? The Kardashians?

Hope you get the point.

Like, we all love our parents, some more or less than others, but our parents are humans, they're people too! so, apart from having feelings, they also are imperfect and that is just fine. Every one of us is different from one another, we can have some things in common but there is no other person like you or me. That's why we'll always have (or become...) the friend in the abusive relationship who doesn't want to leave the bf/gf, or the friend who is always in need of something, or the friend who is always there to help us, or the friend who is always doing something stupid and we all want to slap to death, or the wanna be popular friend, etc. They all are our friends even though they have issues and what not, why? because, at some level, we understand they are different from us and no one is perfect. But when it comes to parents we forget they can be all that too or we feel with the right to ask them to be perfect. Dude, for real, being imperfect is about tolerance and respecting anyone's imperfections. If you haven't noticed, you are NOT perfect and being all emo and/or stupid is not bringing you closer to it.

That's why the message of the week is: We should not work on being perfect, we should work on being the best we can be.

And that is how it is.
