Perfectionism: bursting out ideas to color the world

      The imperfection of a human makes a human perfect. Human is perfectly imperfect. I believe the perfection that a human tries to approach determines one’s color and idea. In perfectionism, there is no right or wrong answer. I doubt with the existence of ultimate truth, too. However, the approach that a human makes to what ze thinks is perfect is the attitude, I believe, that we should have. This does not mean that ze should make no mistake. It means the one should make best effort to voice and burst out his/her color and ideas, trying to color the world with his/her existence. This leads me to two questions: what if the idea that the one bursts is wrong, or will be wrong in the future; why should the one try hard to make a best effort for the burst.

  I feel naïve for all the possibilities of answers. Thinking about how the ultimate truth (if it does exist) would criticize the perspective that I hold makes me naïve. For instance, the concept of civil disobedience can only be determined about the past. In the moment of that past, the history cannot say anything about that moment rather it is fighting for the justice or it is a big chaos. The idea how my answers, my thoughts can be wrong makes me hesitate about voicing my opinions, since it is the truth I would never know that I want to seek for. Would we still call the civil movement was a fight for the right thing and justice in next hundred years? Would we still punish the crime with the same criteria that we have in the future? Would we still judge the government with the same general public opinion we have now? I do not know. We could have a totally antipodal reaction about the same phenomenon in the future. Maybe my ideas about the social issues can be the subject of mocking criticism in the future. Then, would it be just wasteful to express my ideas? Well, for this question, I disagree.

  As there are so much happening in the society and I am exposed to all of such information, there are so many chances that I can consult myself with a specific point of view, learning myself how I view the world and specific issues. Now, I am struggling with the question I have mentioned above, still trying to organize another answer for that struggle. I did not fully overcome with the doubt for me about making wrong answers, and still feel naïve. However, I am heading to the point with the answer that we should still voice out the ideas that we have. I have asked this same question to my politics teacher, hoping I would get a hint. He told me that voicing out an idea based on your integrity and your logic is what we should do. He said it is true that the ideas can be changed and get criticized, but that is a process that ‘future I’ should do. His point was live every day, every moment based on your integrity and your logic and do not be scared if it is wrong, because if you think it is wrong later on, then you just have to accept your mistake in the past: a natural process that an imperfect human seeking for truth should go through.

  His answer did not fully answer me. I am still unorganized. But with the second question, ‘why should the one try hard to make a best effort for the burst,’ I think it is because these humans’ perfectly imperfect colors determine the next step for the future. Yes, maybe we are in the state of wrong answers and wrong stereotypes. But, we should make our best effort to burst our ideas to color the society, the idea that the one can confidentially assert base on one’s integrity and logic, to make a better future that has a role to preserve, abandon or criticize the present.
