perfection

think about this. take a person's face for example. if a person has had perfect complexion and has a one or two puny scar marks on her nose or smth. people around would tend to concentrate on that one or two blemishes and no longer how nice the rest of her complexion is.

compare this to someone like me for example. my skin is bad. yet that one pimple wouldnt make a difference to the way people look at me. they still see my face as it is.

take this analogy and apply it to our lives. a high profile professor/professional with a clean record all his life, makes one mistake. the spotlight is all on him. people are wondering how could a person so perfect make such a mistake. it doesnt matter if this man is the only person who has been able to cure AIDS. all they will focus on is that one mistake he made.

similarly. a ordinary man who grew up in the coffeeshops and video arcades kills someone in a fight. so?

maybe perfection isnt so perfect afterall. if given the choice, who will you be?

so does perfection amplify one's flaws?

well. i knw i'll have alot of flaws in my paper if i dont get back to studying..
