Why can't you make your life be perfect> No matter what happens, why can't you just say it is perfect and move through time?

You can, Mike - but if you don't, then that's also perfect.

Taoism and Buddhism would say just that - that you dont "make" life perfect, you just accept all as it is, and find peace that way.

Damn hard to do in practice though. It involves things like letting go of attachments, which is humanly very difficult.

Does it mean true peace only comes at the expense of not caring about anything else? Hmm...

It doesn't involve letting go, or not letting go, or any kind of policy, or absence of policy, at all. Think of it as a target so big that you hit it no matter what you do or don't do. Also, ignore what I just said, it's wrong.

Wise words.

We can never know what perfection is, my dear turnip. Even if we've already reached perfection we would never know and just muck it up anyway.

depends on what you think perfect is.

Well, I just had a piece of cake that was damn near perfect.

My life is pretty near perfect. Things go wrong, but i seem to get over things, so something must be right.

If things did reach perfect they wouldn't stay that way,(either something bad would happen or you'd just get used to things being perfect and the feeling would fade) so it's best to enjoy what you have, and always have the hope that it can get better too.

I lurve what you just said then Pinkpanther, life can never be perfect but the whole acceptance of that sorta keeps us content and gets us through the sticky patches.

life is mostly boring. the interesting bits come every now and again, but those bits can sure seem close to perfect, even if in an off-centre sort of way.

I truly enjoy a moist chocolate cake. It sweetens life greatly. If only the kings of distant land cared most about being a fat ass. Then there would be peace in the valley

Only God is perfect. This is merely the best of all possible worlds.
