Theory of Perfection

People can consider what happiness is by judging the perfection that surrounds them and by that they may also think they can judge the quality of their life. John Koethe describes the perfect life as the moment that he lives in his youthful years. For him it is youth that makes you see everything no matter how dull it is in the most wonderful way, making it seem even the simplest life has no way of being imperfect. In an indirect way he describes perfection as the journey people live throughout life. He expresses that as the human mind matures throughout time it become concerned about the flaws that life may bring and with that perfection starts to loose itself as life passes making even the most beautiful things appear cold. With that it is safe to say that slowly and as the years go by the person will loose not just physical but also there mental strength and in a indirect way is comparing perfection with the human body, with a strong and empowering youth that slowly deteriorates until the moment of death.

"Life is a constant expectative of the future." In my opinion perfection is in the eyes of the beholder. I do relate in a way to John Koethe in his poem of "The Perfect Life", because I do think when you are younger you always have motivation to do what ever you put your mind up to do but as you get older that motivation you had in your younger ages is not there. But in the other hand I hope when I do grow up that doesn't happen to me because I always want to an interest in life and I don't think anyone should close their mind to new ideas because of their age.
