Perfection

Apparently perfect images are expressions of art, not life.

And behind the scene of apparently perfect images, there is often much messiness and ugliness and unhealthiness.

Have you ever been in an art studio, or photographic studio, or on a film set, or in a television studio, or in the editorial office of a magazine or newspaper, or in a newsroom, or behind the scenes of a stage production?

When do you know a reasonable desire for improvement has become an unreasonable desire for perfection?

How do you know when an expectation of perfection is reasonable?

How carefully do you ascertain mutual expectations in various situations?

How reasonably do you judge people and expectations and intentions and motivations and problems?

You may associate perfection with an absence of problems.

Perhaps you only ever express appreciation towards something or someone you regard as perfect.

How have you expressed appreciation towards Civility Today, if at all?

Perfection is an absence of flaws.

What, though, is a perfect daily news service?

What, for that matter, is a perfect day, in your view?

The desire to remove flaws is to regard flaws as a problem.

How, though, do you ascertain which flaws are most problematic and therefore most worthy of (your) attention?

Perhaps you regard Civility World as a perfect world. 

Perhaps you even regard yourself as perfect.
