inadequecy, perfection and love

we seek increasing perfection in ourselves and in our lovers
and then ask why we didn't get simplicity.
sometimes we ask why we are tired
but very seldom do we ask what it is that drives us toward perfection

is the solution unconditional self-love?

and yet... how is it that people choose to grow in one aspect and not another. few people are (attempt to be) physically, mentally and soulfully beautiful

thus spoke the perfectionist.

unconditional self-love. trouble with that is that it can easily sway to become complacence.

but we are always growing.
so, what if self-love also understands this dynamic. to stand still would actually be contrary to our nature, it would mean we hadn't really accepted ourselves but as you say become complacent.

(it's all wishful thinking of course, but also part of becoming better in some ways)
