Acceptance of Imperfection is Perfection

What would happen if we all could accept that we are not perfect and never will be? Would people be happier? The world will always move on and no eraser can erase the ink smudges of past transgressions. Therefore, why should history books and people themselves falsify humanity as perfect.

History books should convey the absolute truth. Future generations need to learn from the imperfections of the past, to make reference of what could be improved or left unchanged in future war and economical situations. History books need to illustrate the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If the Bible, the most holy book of all, can discuss the mistakes of past kings such as David, then so can history books. King David once stole another man's wife ,and then had that man killed by sending him to the front of the battle;yet, he also defeated the Philistines and help strengthened Israel . All human beings are both good and evil. God intended for all human beings to be full of sin and seek forgiveness, to know one day that they can be in a perfect, glorious heaven. The Founding Fathers produced the Constitution knowing that society has fallacies, that freedoms and rights need to be protected. Students need to see the whole spectrum of history and read supplemental books to further educate themselves of the establishment of the lives they are living today.

The acceptance of infallibility can also apply to the life of an individual. If people accept their own mirror image, personality, and talents then they can experience true joy. By not succumbing to the inner devil of condemnation, people can focus on self-improvement in a non-stressful way. While pessimists may argue that lack of self criticism takes away ambition, in reality, by not fretting over past mistakes ,people no longer have an obscured dream covered by their own errors. Instead, they have a clear focal point of the attainment of their goal without the obstructions of guilt from the past. The ability to take ownership of one's imperfection becomes a perfection of it's own.
