A very handsome and perfect man thins that God must also have created a very beautiful and perfect woman who matches with as his foul mate.

So he went around finding her soul mate. Then he arrived in a village. He met a farmer who had three daughters and all of them are very beautiful.

The man met the farmer and says that he wants to marry one of his children but confused which is the most perfect. The farmer suggested for dating them one by one and the man agreed.

The first day he went with his first daughter. When they returned, he said to the farmer, “the first daughter has a small flaw. Her left leg thumb is smaller than her right thumb”.

The next day he went with farmer’s second daughter and on his return he said, “The second daughter also had a very small flaw that she has rather squint eyes”.

Eventually he went down with the third daughter. He returned very happy and said to the farmer, “This is what I looking for. She was absolutely perfect.” Than the man marry with the farmer’s third daughter.

Nine months later, the wife was giving birth. With full of happiness, the man witnessed the birth of his first child. When the child is born, he was so shocked and disappointed because he is ugly. He met the farmer and asked, “Why can happen like this, sir? Your daughter is beautiful and I’m handsome, why my child could be so ugly?” The farmer replied, “My third daughter is not perfect. She has small invisible flaw. She was pregnant when she’s marrying you.”


Sometimes when we look for perfection, we could get disappointment instead. But when we ready with the shortage, then everything will feel special.

Looking for Perfection

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.”
