Perfection

What do you want?

To daily be better than the day before it

Why?

Because we all dream of perfection

So why daily?

It’s a good way to pace life

So at the end, you attain perfection?

No

Then why do it at all?

It’s more a pursuit of perfection

Why chase something unattainable?

There’s something romantic about the chase

Won’t it just be a huge disappointment?

It just reveals the mortality of humans

Isn’t it depressing?

No, we were made to chase and strive till the end

I wouldn’t go after something that’s not a sure bet

Nothing is really a sure bet

So, you just keep on chasing and then die?

No

Then what?

You go on chasing and at the end, you realize two things

Which are?

One, that the journey itself is transforming

And?

That you shouldn’t really be able to catch up to perfection anyways

That would be crushing to discover

Not as crushing as attaining perfection now

Why?

That would mean the end of the dream

What’s wrong with that?

There’s nothing left to dream

But you’ll be perfect

Would you, with no dreams?

So life is a dream?

No

What is it then?

It’s a pursuit.
