Mind Map

Was reading a book and i came across this quote and pondered over it for a while.

 -"How little remains of the man i once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering."
Charles Baudelaire, La Fanfarto

I think Im guilty of giving this kind of suffering to myself very often.

I always feel that whom i once was is much a better person than who I am now.

Was talking to some of my friends in school on the other day,
we were saying that we dont feel that we're nice people ourselves.
We were talking about how bad we are, our bad points.

I never feel that Im someone very nice now,
there are many characters of myself that I dont really appreciate.

There are so much that I can complain about myself.

I remember that i told my friends,

well, we have to accept who we are and how we're like.

I know i know.

But I have the magnifying glass. (is it?)

I've heard somewhere that it's about accepting the imperfections.

There isnt 100% perfection in the world.

But we're always looking for something that's as close to that as possible. isnt it?

Some people just look for or ask for more. including myself.

What's the limit then?

How much of the imperfection should i take?
