perfection

i'm not supposed to be awake at this hour, just too bad i've got some sudden feeling in my heart that, i probably need to let it out somewhere.....
we are all trained to think and behave perfectly, but we're all thrown into a world that can never be perfect, how sad......
how well can perfectionists fit into this world?one might need forever to search for the answer, some told me that the search for perfect, or at least the best in everything is no less than the best pushing force in trying to achieve goals of life..
i certainly do agree that life without aims, life without force or motivation to move ahead is worse than disastrous, but, even a correct action with a wrong reason can be a wrong action, well don't be surprised if you are familiar with the words, it's modified from a movie in fact.
sometimes i do wonder, do we, the young generation now, strive for the best because of the correct reason?or we, simply because of an invisible trend, are running blindly around, claiming that we are heading to perfection?
failure and dissatisfaction in life seem so horrible to most of us, including me, but suddenly i recalled something from a respected person of mine...
he was puzzled with the thinking of us, the so called young generation, for being so fragile, for being so easily discouraged, for being so vulnerable in front of failure, for being so sensitive of dissatisfaction in life....
we are spoiled, i must say that, no matter what kind of family or educational background one has, we are all spoiled, i insist on that.....
things change, so do people, but not all the time for a good reason. I commented that change itself is like a weapon which, does not carry values and hence, whether it is good or bad, beneficial or destructive, depends on one's perspective.
well having said that, this might be a proper explanation for what i've insisted strongly just now....because of the chase of perfection, our perception for the world has narrowed, and the big conclusion is, we all suffer, not because of others, but because of ourselves.
