One day, Kahlil Gibran dialogues
with his teacher.
Gibran: “O teacher, how do we get
the most perfect thing in Life?”. The teacher mused then replied, “go straight
to the flower garden, pluck the most beautiful flower and never turn back!”. After
a walk and reached the end of flower garden, Gibran returned empty-handed. Then
the teacher asked, “Why you do not get any interest?” Gibran replied, “Actually
I got it. I didn’t pluck it because I thought it might be a more beautiful
flower in the front. But when I’ve reached the end, I realized that what I saw
that was the most beautiful and I could not turn back again.”
The teacher is smiling and said, “Yes..
That’s life. The more we seek perfection, the more we will never get it,
because the true is, there is no absolute perfection. There is only our
sincerity of our hearts to receive the existing shortcomings. So do not look
for perfection but complete what is in us.”
