‘Perfect Lives’

We quest to shape our perfect lives. The right job, the right clothes, the right weight, the right car.

Then nature intervenes. An earthquake can crush that car completely. Floods and tornadoes slash through communities turning houses upside down. How important are the right clothes then?

Your close friend discovers he has a serious medical condition. A close family member struggles with divorce. How important is the right car now?

What does this have to do with you anyway, and why am I writing about it here?

Sometimes perspective is a good thing. Perhaps this page will inspire you to do something especially ‘nice’ for another human being this month.

Write a note to your spouse, children or parents. Give the person sitting next to you a compliment for what they did, or how they look, or just for being ‘who they are’.

In the larger scheme of things, it’s not so important that we weigh exactly the right weight, or wear just the right clothes. But it’s very important that we live, and give, to add a touch of brightness in our remarkably paradoxical world.
