Imperfection

Not everything in our life is perfect and we  tolerate imperfection because every human being have weakness. If we expect perfection in everything , then it is our weakness not be aware of imperfections.

This morning, my staff called me and tell me that someone reverse into her car and it was damaged . She has to report to the police and give a statement. She believe that person who is in the wrong will not report to the police and henceforth , she cannot claim on her insurance.

Yeah, everyday when I commute to my factory, there are so many cars on the road, some observe the traveling rules and keep to their lane, some will just jam into your lane or suddenly switch lane. There are so many types of road users , the tame drivers riding very slowly and takin their own sweet time while others overtaking you with great speed or pushing you from behind and keeping close.  If you break , they will just bang into the back of your car.

There are also those motorbike riders , zooming in and out of the different lanes or some answering phone cars while driving their car or riding their bikes  unaware of the traffic behind or besides them. These zombies riding and driving at their break neck speed.

When  do an accident occurs ? it is simple when it runs out of control or a mismatch on the timing .  These are weakness and the imperfection of the drivers or riders .  We cannot help it , it is beyond our control and we can  only drive defensively and hope that everything is all right.

I remembered that I read a news a few days ago of an accident in KL.  Two bank officers were traveling to a semiar together and the car skidded on the road and overtune . Both female bank officers crawl out of their car .Another car stopped to help and was involved in another mnor accident. As the third car driver help the two female officer , another car came and bank into them and killing three of them instantly. It was raining and the road was wet. This illustrate the imperfection of the human beings, the road and the weather. When such imperfection occurs, some serious accident will occur.

If we stress ourself in believing everyone has to be perfect or be perfect , we are only stressing us up . So relax , enjoy whatever you are doing and live well.


Namaste.
