What is the perfect person like? Is it the selfless caring person? Always ready to lend a hand or help financially. Or do we call this person an enabler? Is this the person keeping the ones they help in "victim" status? Is the perfect person the encourager? Always rooting for you to "do your best!" Or is the perfect person the guy reminding you this isn't your battle? Reminding you to take a step back. Cut your losses. Is the perfect person the friend always available to hear your tale of woe? You never need to work things out for yourself. She has the answer or the shoulder to cry on or the nodding assent. Or does she tell you to suck it up! Get over it! Don't be such a baby! Which is the perfect response? Is the perfect person organized and orderly? Is the perfect person a disorganized person? Is the perfect person great at sports? Is he a fine physical specimen? Or, is he average and let's you feel OK about yourself because you're average, too? Does the perfect person accept whining? Does she accept lying? Does she accept "forgetting to call you back or return your book?" Does the perfect person forget about the unpaid loan and chalk it up as a gift? Do perfect people get crabby? Do they say the wrong thing at the wrong time? Do they only say the right thing at the perfect moment? Does the perfect person earn enough money to live a perfect lifestyle? Or does a perfect person live within his means and require his family to do the same? Does a perfect person feel compassion for those living outside their means? Or does he resent their greed? Does a perfect person cook healthy meals for the family? Or does a perfect person order pizza? Is a perfect person an artist? Or is a perfect person an accountant? Can an artist be an accountant? Can an accountant be an artist? Which is a perfect combination? Does a perfect person have unshakable faith? Or does a perfect person work their faith out daily with fear and trembling? Does a perfect person attend church every Sunday? Or does a perfect person take a "day of rest" and rest? Does a perfect person need other people? Do they need to have a friend? Or do they need to be a friend? Does a perfect person have all the answers? Or does a perfect person keep their mouth (and blog) shut and pose the question for consideration? Is a perfect person real? Does this perfect person exist? Is there a list of qualities and characteristics for the perfect person? I wonder.
When I went out to my car to go to lunch, just after posting this post, The Reason was the song that came on the radio in my car. It makes you say, hmmm?
