There's a disease of ignorance and complacency inflicting the human race. God forbid we're inconvenienced or put out by the needs of others. 

We are but soft and weak. We are undisciplined zombies addicted to our microwave popcorn, that is of course no fault of our get rich quick lifestyle. We have entitlement issues and a lousy work ethic. This is not life's perfecta. 

We're bitter. We're bodies in motion. We keep up with the Joneses. 

We read gossip columns and tabloids. We watch Access Hollywood, Extra and Entertainment Tonight and then we complain when when someone violates our privacy. We have but the attention span of gnats. We preach tolerance from inside the protection of cloistered groups who will happily give up our rights in the name of  until the day we die 

and then at that point what does it matter? 

Death is the only pure state of being.

Mad Men: Meet Don Draper

THIS! is my favourite show.
THIS! is my favourite character.
Meet Donald "Don" Draper.

Really?

You're looking happy, Mich.

Really? That's weird. I'm suicidal, obviously.

The Disease Called Perfection

The following was taken from a blog I read, 'Single Dad Laughing'
I know it's long but it's worth the read.
Perfection: A beautiful fairy tale that always leaves you hating yourself.

As a warning, the following post was written in complete desperation. I have recently learned some very sobering truths from people that I love dearly. These truths have set in motion a quest within me to do whatever I can to make a change. Today is not geared at funny. Today is geared at something greater. Read it to the very end. I promise you will be affected in a way you have always needed to be. I spent more than twelve hours writing this post because its message is that important to me.

I wonder. Am I the only one aware that there is an infectious mental disease laying siege on us right now? There is a serious pandemic of "Perfection" spreading, and it needs to stop. Hear me out because this is something for which I am passionately and constantly hurting. It's a sickness that I've been trying to put into words for years without much success. It's a sickness that I have personally struggled with. It's a sickness that at times has left me hiding in dark corners and hating myself.

And chances are it's hit you too. 

What is the disease called "Perfection"? Perhaps a list of its real-life symptoms will help you better understand it. We live in communities where people feel unconquerable amounts of pressure to always appear perfectly happy, perfectly functional, and perfectly figured. "Perfection" is much different than perfectionism. The following examples of "Perfection" are all real examples that I have collected from experiences in my own life, from confidential sources, or from my circle of loved ones and friends. If you actually stop to think about some of these, you will cry as I did while writing it. If you don't, maybe you're infected with way too much of this "Perfection" infection.
