"Nobody's Perfect."
A reduntantly proclaimed statement, and yet... We all have a prototype mindset in our minds of the perfect person. A perfect mimicry of all we human beings can never be...Flawless
There are many ways we mimic others, and each form teaches us something. Not every form is good, nor is every form bad.
We simulate our own version of perfection and try to reach it, but we can only fail to do so. You cannot ban your flaws, only camoflauge them.
Some good ways people mimic others:
+ A little girl learns to apply make-up by watching her parents or older sister.
+ A child learns to clean by watching their mother.
+ We watch what others wear and mimic what we see is "In Style" or that we like.
+ We learn to write by copying the forms of the letters others have written for us.
Some bad ways people mimic others:
+ A kid's older brother starts to snort cocaine, soon he's doing it too because he watched his brother do it.
+ A little girl starts popping pills because she saw her mother do it and feels it couldn't be too bad.
+ A little girl watches as one kid bullies another and joins in because she doesn't want to be picked on herself.
+ A little boy hits other kids because his father or mother beats him and he feels being helpless is a weakness and he tries to hurt others so he doesn't feel so weak.
And there's another way that's more noticed:
+ A teenage girl sees a model on tv. The model is beautiful and skinny. She feels like she isn't pretty because she's not skinny enough. She turns to bulimia or anorexia or something else to try and become something that is no more than a sham. Something that doesn't exist.
The girls on tv....
So beautiful...So skinny...
But are they really that skinny? No. They're portrayed as such by computer graghics. If they were really that skinny they'd be dead, don't you think?
The "False Perfection" simulation.
Be this way and you'll be accepted...be that way and you'll be perfect. Be beautiful, popular, and athletic or else you're not worth being around.
He won't want you because you're not skinny enough. You're not pretty enough.
We fall for that every day...We know we can't be that way, but we try anyways...because we all want to BE ACCEPTED and have friends who like us...
But being an individual is so much more interesting? Why be like everyone else? That's boring and no fun. Why just be another number in the system?
Stir up something...
Make waves...be somebody you want to be.
Be Yourself and no one else.
Because whether you like it or not...that's the only person worth being.
