In the book The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen Macy is dealing with the awful truth about life, that nothing lasts forever, not even our parents. She also deals with this truth hen her boyfriend tells her he wants to spend some time apart.
"It's just that . . . I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, You know? There has to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is." I agree with this statement being imperfect is a fact tat we all have to deal with. No one is perfect. You can try as hard as you want but we all have our flaws. Our flaws are what make us who we are. They are what make us the person we are today, they build up our personality. If we didn't have flaws we wouldn't learn anything because by making mistakes we learn more and more.Everyone learns from their mistakes. For example, to ride a bike you need to fall at least once before you get the hang of it. As a baby you learn to walk and as an adult you can still trip.
"but if everything was always smooth and perfect,"she continued."you'd get too used to that, you know? you have to have a little it of disorganization now and then. Other wise, you'll never really enjoy it when things go right." I can't picture life without mistakes because i make them everyday.Now that i think about it if everything were right then after a while it will get boring. Everyone makes mistakes from putting the wrong answer on the test even though you knew the right one, to forgetting your homework at home. It happens, but there is nothing you can do about it.
Hey Talyah :) I find this post really interesting, because you bring up something that's talked about so often- perfection. And i agree with your idea that we need mistakes- in a world without mistakes, we'd never learn, and personally, I think we'd all become pretty naive. I mean, mistakes are life's way of saying "don't do this, it's dangerous," or "don't do this, try this instead." Also, the entire time you were talking about what life would be like with no mistakes, I kept on thinking about The Stepford Wives- it just popped into my head. Does anyone else think these two books relate at all?
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you. Mistakes are the human nature, and without it, we just might not BE human. Several new ideas came from mistakes, food being a good example. I have never read The Stepford Wives, so I don't think I'll be able to answer your question, Joanna.
ReplyDeleteI also agree mistakes make up a world and even ourselves. Without any mistakes in the world we would never learn anything (like Talayah said). I feel that the point of living life and growing up is making mistakes and realizing what the mistake was and fixing it too. Life isn't perfect either because if it was there would be no point of learning what is right or wrong. Perfection is far way within our reach, so we need to work on it, but we'll never reach it.
