Perfect or imperfect?

Its almost 11pm now and I'm sitting here figuring out this question. "How do I make myself a perfect person?". Of course, this is not an easy question to answer. To some, this may be a stupid question to even bother to waste time thinking about. But seriously, don't tell me that you have not ask this question to yourself at least once in your lifetime.

Actually, what does perfect means? I think some ppl will answer that perfect means "Being yourself, no matter what other ppl think or say". Some ppl may say "Being perfect means that you be or do, as what other says or wishes." However another person told me that "There are no perfect people in the world." Honestly, I prefer the last answer as it justifies all my flaws and imperfections. But it does sound like I am giving myself excuses to be "siu hei", "hap chou" and many many more of my imperfections.

So comes to my next question then. Is it ok to be "siu hei"? I really wonder how do you judge that this person is "siu hei". One person said to me that "siu hei" means that you get angry or annoyed over trivial things. Now, may I ask then "What are trivial things?" You see, I believe that everyone has a different understanding of what is trivial and what is important to them.

For example, to my dad eating together during meals is important, as this is his way of spending quality time with the family. So especially on CNY eve, you can imagine the utmost importance of the family dinner to him. So if anyone of us misses this or are late, he will be really upset and angry. Now to some ppl, they will feel that he is being "siu hei" but again, is he? I really disagree as I know and understand that this is important to him. However to some of my friends, CNY eve dinners are no big deal. Some don't even stay home on that night. Some are with the family but the dinner is not as important as mahjong. Go figure!

Oh well, I still have not figured out the answers to my questions. But one thing for sure, I will try my best to be my version of "perfect". And for all my imperfections, I can only say "If it bothers you, then guess what, it bothers me as well. So either accept it or bugger off!"

There will never be a perfect thing in this world, one's perfect maybe just imperfect to another. Why wanna seek to become perfect person rather than live a perfect life.
