Not Perfect

Life is not perfect. It shouldn't be perfect. It should be unpredictable and irrational and complicated.

Judd Altman from "This is Where I Leave You"
 



 

In staying with the theme of love for Valentine’s Day, I thought this quote was fitting. Love, just like life, is never perfect. We all dream of the perfect soul mate, but often our reality falls a little short. However, this should not discourage because I think relationships, just like everything else in our lives, needs to have faults that challenge us. If there are no mistakes then I think we would not experience the growth and gratitude that comes from failures and setbacks. Judd Altman stepped out of his miserable routine when two major incidents made him question his life choices. Although he came out of these incidences in pain, he was ultimately a better person for it.
Happy Valentine’s Day
