Do u think there is such thing as perfect life?

Answer 1

Depends on the interpertation of "perfect". I'm sitting at the computer right now with a pounding headache, need to do a million chores, the dog ate coffee grounds my 5 year old stuck a hot wheels car in the dvd player, and i'm not having the best of mornings. BUT I have a beautiful little baby sleeping in the other room and a healthy loving family and a view from my window that could double for a scene out of a movie. I'm smiling. For me, the unperfect is perfectly fine for me. ;)

Answer 2

Perfection is an ideal, not a reality. Read some Plato. It is one of the ideals we hold to as valuable and work towards, as an artist works toward beauty. But being human implies that we are always on the path. To quote Leonard Woolf (Virginia's husband) - The journey, not the destination, is what matters.

That is why there is such a contrast between "The Canterbury Tales" and "Pilgrim's Progress." Bunyan's Pilgrim is a miserable loser, for whom the pathway is just a nasty obstacle to be overcome. Chaucer's pilgrims are an exciting bunch of people, full of variety and color, making the most of each day by telling stories. They live a full life on the road and Chaucer doesn't even bother to tell us whether or not they ever get to Canterbury - for, as Woolf saw, it's the journey that matters.

So "perfect life" is an ideal. St. Augustine said you need the church to pursue perfection. Pelagius said - no, the biblical injunction "Be ye perfect" implies that we have within us the ability to take the path to a perfect life.

Jerome and Augustine agreed that Pelagianism must be stopped. The Roman Legions were adopting it. So they kicked him out, and declared Pelagianism, faith in the self-perfectibility of man, to be a heresy. It still is.

Today's Pelagianism, rooted in faith in humankind, is Humanism, still outside orthodox religion as it was when St. Augustine prevailed over Pelagius. So you can hold as an article of faith that yes, there is such a thing as a perfect life, just as there is perfect beauty, and the good life is one that travels toward it.

Answer 3

Define your definition of PERFECT. Perfect is an imperfect word. If your life is perfect as in the meaning you have no problems and your just always PEACHY! Then no NO one has a problem free life. Everyone has their problems in one way or another they have their problems. Granted some have more then others but there is NO such thing as perfect. A perfect life consists of having what you want getting what you need and never having a concern. Many people have what they want and are getting what they need but they all at one point or another have a concern. Your life is what you make it and if you are PERFECT then your life will be perfect but as we all know, just like the old saying goes " No one is perfect".

Answer 4

Every life is as perfect as it can be.
There's a line in a song by Tears for Fears that talks about the 'beauty of decay'. It's all perspective.

In a human life, if we have a chance to live it, we have regrets, we make mistakes, we do good and we do bad. But if you look back on your mistakes, your miscalculations, your errors in judgement, it's probably best to remember that in the circumstances that you were in at that time, you did what you could do. There is a perfection in the imperfectable humanity that we own.

The outside circumstances of our lives may make a marked difference in our perspective, but still, ultimately, we get to decide on just how we perceive our lives and how perfect they are.

So, in short, yes I think there is such a thing as a perfect life, because I chose to define just what 'perfect' is.

Answer 5

Yes and No. It all depends on each individuals outlook. Many people are happy with their lot in life. They are satisfied with their lives as they have very few needs, and they accept life as it comes. To them it is perfect.

Then their are those that have great needs, wether it be emotional, or material. For those people no matter how much love they receive, or how many materialistic things they have, or how much money they have the will always need more. For them life is never perfect.

When did you ever hear of a millionaire being happy with one million dollars?

Why do so many celebrities end up overdosing on drugs? Wether it be accidental, or intentional?

They have fame, fortune, million dollar homes, flew all around the world, were loved so many times (note their divorce rate).
Did they ever think they had a perfect life?

That is why my answer is yes, and no. Depending on the individual.

Answer 6

Indeed,its about gratitude..My perfect life could just be the mere fact that I have a roof over my head,my rent paid,a car that runs,and a good outlook on life in general,to me that is as perfect as it gets.It all depends on what ones idea of perfect is,if you are forever hoping and wishing for a mansion,a Porsche,prince charming,and allot of money,and you stew and dwell on the negativity of not having these things you will never be happy and or come close to knowing the feeling of true happiness and to me a perfect life is the life that is led by those who understand what indeed their purpose is and with that purpose they reach out to others unselfishly.If I can make someone else's day a little better,or perhaps put a smile on one persons face,that puts a smile on my face and I'm living a perfect life(as I understand it)It is kind of like"beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and so is a "perfect life"

Answer 7

I believe there is such a thing as being in "PERFECT HARMONY" with your life. Regardless of the diversity of what people may consider as "perfect." Also, since I don't judge anything as "bad" or "good," (weigh them on a scale) harmony is natural for me.

Answer 8

WABISABI- is the Japanese concept of perfection in imperfection. When we look at a life, there are inevitable negatives intrinsic to it - ie death. So if you are asking if anyone has had a perfect life as in a life free of flaws, then no there is no flawless life. If we accept that flawlessness is not perfection then we must accept that there are perfect lives which include mistakes and physical/emotional pain/suffering.

Answer 9

Perfection in anything is an extreme view, to me as a Buddhist, the Middle Path with its various turns and twists is as natural as breathing. Life is Life, seen as it is with its intricacies and interspersed with joys and sorrows and seen through our perceptions to me is a changing kaleidoscope with my perceptions changing with it.

I do not believe there is anything perfect, there is just Life with its various sights, colours and sounds, many beautiful, some ugly yet all part of the experience and all in a state of change, creating a dynamic world in which to Live. Whether rich or poor, Life remains simply Life.

Every life is a perfect life. Because every life has struggle, success, failure, pain, love, trust, and the mixture of all these generates a unique life.
