Interestingly, one of the best phrases about imperfection was not uttered by a famous philosopher or psychologist, but by Vittorio Gassman, an Italian actor. He said that our imperfections help us to be afraid; Trying to solve them helps us to have courage?
This may be ironic and surprising, because it would be easier to imagine that a world-famous philosopher would say the most perfect phrases about imperfection; however, the human being is imperfect and therefore every person, however insignificant he feels, is capable of great accomplishments.
- Does that mean we can’t be happy?Should we judge ourselves forever by mistakes made?The answer is no.
- Because perfection is in our own imperfection.
- We can all be perfectly imperfect.
“We don’t like someone because it’s perfect
-Jodi Picoult-
Adam Smith said that “if you approach a situation as a matter of life and death, you will die often. This phrase is perfect for explaining a psychological theory that has developed its own clinical methodology, imperfection therapy.
With great advocates, such as its own creator, Dr. Ricardo Peter, professor at UDLAP, researcher and psychotherapist, this therapy has developed an effective treatment of perfectionism disorders, much more common today than one can imagine.
In this case, imperfection therapy is based on a particular basis, its own name is incorrect, because they are encounters longer than the traditional therapeutic session.
Through these “meetings,” the therapist and patient are placed at the same level. The therapist’s mission is to explore the person’s self-misunderstanding.
The idea of dedicating an article to the theory of imperfection is due to a contradiction: we do not accept our own imperfection; in fact, some people are so upset that they become obsessed with it.
However, excessive perfection does not positively influence the human psyche, because we are not able to define exactly what perfection is. A circle, a sphere, a job well done?
There is a debate about the existence of perfection involving experts of all ages and all branches of science, they have not reached consensus and this debate continues today, despite the discussions, there is a group that believes and argues that perfection exists and here are some of its criteria:
Is there a logical conclusion to that? This is probably the case, but there is no single correct answer, there is an answer for every thought process and for every human being who inhabits this planet.
What’s perfect for some is completely wrong for others. Perfection seems to be an idea, an image, a utopia, which should encourage people to improve every day.
“Aren’t many gardens beautiful because they’re imperfect?
-Libba Bray-
In any case, every human being can be perfectly imperfect, in each of us there is a desire to improve, the need to be happier or the utopian message of a perfect world, it depends on us, it is not necessary to build something perfect. , but something better.
