For the past few months I’ve loved purchasing original records. Besides the feeling of true ownership, these records have made me realize that sometimes imperfections or flaws bring out the beauty and potential in us.
Throughout the years, we have been downloading music equipped with the freedom to choose only the songs we like, leaving out the records we think are unsuitable for us. However, in purchasing a CD record, I fully realize that it is the songs that I don’t quite like that make the other songs more beautiful. Suddenly what I used to name “the nice songs” becomes nicer in the presence of the other songs. It’s really weird because somehow listening only to the ‘nice songs’ makes those ‘nice songs’ seems boring.
A package of CD record is similar to a person in some ways. It has its nice songs as we have our strength. But besides that, it has some songs which to some people are a lil less than the others, as we have our flaws and weaknesses in the eyes of others. Also, it’s unlikely to find a perfect CD records with all our favorite songs inside, packed with the cover we think is flawless just as we, are unlikely to find a perfect person in our eyes packaged the way we always imagined. Lastly, some CD records are enjoyed by some but not the others, as we are unlikely to be loved by all.
The point is that nothing is perfect, but it is the flaws that bring out our strength. We can always improve, but there is no reason to whine on our flaws and weaknesses. Most importantly, I realize that we often want an unrealistically perfect person to be with us, but then it would not be real and challenging, because a package of too much good is not.
