We're All Broken, All Beautifully Imperfect

Such is the truth of life ; Beautifully put together
but think there is more to it ......... !
Acceptance of this philosophy contents us in life and gives us reason to forgive ourselves and others ....
yet it's the pursuit of happiness that makes us human even if its an illusion ...... Isn't it ?

Yes, it is.
Also it's interesting how humans strive for perfection. Maybe this is how we were created. We used to be in the presence of God, where everything is perfect, before we were born on this earth. This longing for perfection was embedded within us, and I believe it's a clear evidence of the existence of the afterlife.

Indeed

It's our imperfections that makes us perfect.. If we are not broken then we will not strive nor long for something in our life.

Perfection is not important, but correction matters.

I love this! I heard something similar when I was in college, I think it was about mosaic and understanding beauty amidst chaos.

human being created to be imperfect, then how for us to seek for perfection!!, its against our natural  and aimless
and I agree with u in this "I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting"

I think I sort of both agree and disagree .......
we are all broken ; beautifully imperfect ........ defines humans being imperfect
but at the same time humans do have this longing for perfection .......... desire of being perfect that helps us being better and better ........... though at the same time imperfections and oddity are not to be rejected as well.
Its just like a formula for life for us
                                                                         ATTITUDE IN LIFE =
                      mistakes ( By Own / Others) * 0    ............................ accepting imperfections
                      keep adding +1 in (Self improvement index)  every day .......................(Seeking perfection)

ofc we need to improve our live even if software in continually upgrading, then why not for us humans!
I'm not against developing our live  at all, but all I meant we do not have to do all thing perfectly
I know ppl who dont accept anything but perfection, those ppl don't achieve a lot or sometimes delaying most of their tasks just to do it in perfect way and guess what, they would never being satisfied
I mean we can accept 80 90 95% and keep moving
but what is the  matter of trying  being 100% in everything!!! it would never happen but they ended up feeling unsatisfied

Beautifully written! It's all so relative, my dear. It all depends on how one defines 'imperfection' because each one has his own definition of what 'perfection' and 'beauty' are. 
I want to agree with you that "perfection is an illusion", but I don't even know what it is; I don't even know how to define it. One thing I'm sure of is that beauty can be found anywhere indeed, and as you insinuated, the more interesting, the more beautiful it is. Personally, as far as photography is concerned for instance, I find beauty in decay and rusty surfaces/objects. It may sound odd, but that's one side of my perception of beauty, so the state in which I find it ("imperfection") doesn't matter. The same applies to humans; no matter what is missing to each of us, each one of us is beautiful in someone's eyes.

So True..
We were born to be real and not to be perfect....
There is no need to be perfect to inspire others..Let the people get inspired on how we deal with our imperfect things..

That's the challenge and the spirit of life
