Perfect or Mundane

Perfect or Mundane

Which one is wrong? Looking for something perfect in this imperfect world(incredibly so) OR believing that there are no perfect things and living a mundane life? Even though it is almost always annoying, the former makes you earn life in a special manner. You feel like you are in a treasure hunt every single day of your life. Some of the days you know what you are looking for. Some of the days you’re running up and down with no sense of direction whatsoever the end result is. But it sure does make you hope for more. You seek to see more in life. You seek to have a desire for a better tomorrow. Even when you know living to see tomorrow means getting close to your death, you live for that instant. Is that really being gullible and silly or brave? 

But, the latter is mundane. Nothing exciting whatsoever. You’re always content with what you have. You don’t need more. You are just okay with the momentum of life. If something better comes along, you would receive it with open arms. At the same time, if someone tells you this would be the very last day to live, you wouldn’t mind at all. Knowing and understanding the momentum of life means you are not afraid of a thing, even death itself. This sounds pretty ordinary or lame. But isn’t this the reality of the world we live in? Why should it be extraordinary always? What does it change anyway? Feeling the superpower within you and living like a hero is only possible in a fictional world. If one wants to be a hero, the only thing he needs is keeping up with the tricks of life. Understanding the magic of reality! The way, one would start living beyond surviving a single day in life!

So, I think one must choose to settle in the middle of these two. A little enthusiasm would never hurt anyone. Living in the real, non-fantasized world is sine qua non. If the two can mutually exist, then, that would be quite a combination indeed!
