Sexual repression, prejudice, gay bashing, child abuse... it grieves me. Not so much as it used to, I look for perfection instead of getting berserk, but .. it is still, so sad.

  Of course... I cannot immediately see perfection, in prejudice, etc... I have to surrender and apply unconditional gratitude, to get even a tiny glimpse of how these things could be part of some Divine plan.
  Yet, I think that there is perfection, in the grief, too... it motivates. That too, may be part of the plan. Whatever purpose I may have had, in incarnating with this strange wound... if any.

    Yup. :) Right now I am looking for perfection in how you did not snip the post. ;) Not experiencing it as perfection.

   Yes!! How beautifully expressed.

   Why indeed... it occurred to me that perhaps the destruction was to set me free from this work... but, I seem to not yet be ready to give it up. :)

   I think the perception of perfection is a useful ideal to strive for, to move beyond the ego filters of negative judgments and reactivity.

   Speaking for myself... applying gratitude and looking for perfection when I am not in a place to see it immediately, gives me comfort, peace and discernment about what is the path of "right action." Not, that I can ever know for sure if my actions are "right"... that too is a judgement... but the results seem to work better, in giving me a more peaceful and productive life.

   Sometimes, I also see perfection in my negative judgments and reactivity... :) Trusting the shadow.
