Should we accept our imperfections or should we strive to change?

First of all, what is "perfect"? Anyone who is impeccable can be considered perfect.

If you look at history and say that there is only ** Jesus, but he is the Son of God.

The reason why people are human beings is because they are imperfect, and because they are imperfect, they have unlimited potential space (plasticity).

Buddhists say that "human nature is sufficient" and life is a practice, a process of constantly improving oneself and discovering one's own nature.

It's just that people choose differently.

When one focuses more on the outside (material fame and fortune) than on the inside (spiritual thoughts), it is impossible for one to reach perfection, let alone perfection.

In other words, perfection is derived from within, and we must seek from the "heart", which is the case when we look at the ancient and modern sages of China and foreign countries.

But you can't force it, once you force it, you will fall into the so-called Buddhism's appearance, so it is "cultivation" and "cultivation of the mind".

If you say you don't accept imperfection, isn't that imperfect in itself? Your "heart" first distinguishes between perfection and imperfection, gives it your own definition or standard, or views it in terms of universal worldly standards.

Secondly, the most fundamental difference between human beings lies in thoughts, the body is just a skin, and it can be corrupted in one lifetime, but the thought can illuminate the ages; Everyone's growth experience is different, which determines that they have their own thoughts, and they also have their own cognition and evaluation standards, so who will define and judge "perfection"? - There is no unified standard! For example, if a thing seems to be done perfectly in one person, but not necessarily in another person and other people, philosophy also talks about looking at things dialectically, and things always have different angles in many aspects. I'd rather spend time cultivating my imperfect self than wasting my time expecting someone else to be perfect.

Finally, why do you feel tired? Because you still use external standards to regulate yourself, and you don't recognize your own "heart".

At the beginning of life, where do you think and know? Aren't they all indoctrinated? Those so-called standard rules and so on are all like this, then they are all acquired, can you always restrain yourself from outside? Different environmental occasions cannot be required by fixed standard rules! Just as such rules and standards are suitable in China, they may not be and are very likely to be inappropriate in other countries; "Faith (ideological cognition) is not as good as no book" extends to "Faith standard is not as good as no standard" to analyze the specific situation, and the ideology is rigid and read according to the script? Can that not be burdened?

So, accept your own imperfections—I call them pseudo-imperfections, isn't there a saying that "to exist is to be reasonable"? The existence of things has its meaning of existence, it is not fate here for you, it may have a different role for others in other places, everything has a cause; Put your heart back to yourself, your heart is stable, and everything you see is perfect!

Accept yourself, love yourself, and love yourself in order to love others. By accepting your own imperfections, you will be able to accept your external imperfections.
