Perfection itself is the ability to be faultless, to be free of all possible flaws, but it is our flaws that make us human. Unfortunately, it isn’t easy for people to accept that fact, Morgan Smith being one of them. Morgan was a fifteen year-old girl when it all started. She was so desperate to become society’s idea of perfection, she was ready to risk her life, happiness, and health to make it happen. In December of 2011, she had just become a sophomore in her high school. Until high school,…

Human beings have eternally been built for connection. Throughout our time, the growth and demise of different civilizations, we’ve always been apart of a greater group, family, or community that has not allowed us to be lonely singularities.

This chapter beautifully captured Bodhisattva’s perfections of generosity and morality. The importance, usefulness and challenges of one’s mind is highlighted throughout this chapter. However, from my understanding of the text, it is only our minds that we are capable of controlling since one can decide to be generous, and to believe different values, like what is right or wrong. It is true that we have a wandering mind, that our thoughts constantly change and we usually come up with new ideas.…

Fake Perfection Like snowflakes there is no one person who looks the same in the world. Even identical twins have a small difference that you would be able to tell them apart. What makes every person individually unique is our physical traits; however, things like the internet, the social media, and television says otherwise. According to the media, every man must be handsome and muscular, and every woman must be fit and beautiful. An easy access to such technologies make it easier for people…

I’m sitting at the top of the tower, gazing down on the rest of the city. It seems to be about midnight, but I can see for miles with the light of the full moon. I lean over and let my legs dangle off the railing a little.
