Life is never perfect, it is largely a compromise - do you agree?

Hi Kiran! What a great and wonder thoughts! I entirely buy your arguments that life is not perfect. It is said that - "man proposes and God disposes". So many times, what we plan and think does not happen and we are left standard and helpless. Therefore, one must 'hope for the best and be prepared for the wrost'. Uncertainity in our life makes us more stronger and it tells us that we should not take things for granted. I also wait till the final disposal and do not presume that everything will go my way. I keep my fingers crossed, everytime I make a move, thinking will it succeed or get through or not and the moment it meets success I rejoice on my achievment. An excellent Post!

Hi Kiran, Life is filled with challenges and those who can do more compromises they can win always. Here the proverb ‘Man proposes but God disposes’ is really meaningful. Only a minor percentage of people are lucky enough to plan their life and live accordingly. In fact without a plan we can’t get success but according to the circumstances we should change the plan because life is always uncertain. We can’t predict what will happen in the near future. We can only hope, everything will be alright with everybody. So let us hope for the best always.

Kiran ! I too feel that life is most unpredictable and the smallest thing does turn out to be as ordained and there is nothing in our plans. I have experienced this ; have experienced the best outcome according to my plan too.My experiences are mixed.But i feel they are already ordained and we cannot guess what is in store for us. . I am ever thankful to God that He has given me many comforts and showered countless blessings on me and so I take all my negative interactive experiences as preordained. When it comes to planning it is not possible not to get into them because we do have the need to aim or set a goal in mind for anything .But I just do not think too much about the results and believe that we just do what is needed without thinking too much of the results, because God would give what He thinks fit.If something does not go according to my plan I immediately say that His plans were different and He knows what is best for me and this maintains my peace.As far as eventualities and planning I just pray for God's grace and do not think too much.

Yes, there is many a slip between the cup and the lip. I think that is just part of life. But, you know, some things happen for a reason. I have started places, and gotten delayed, only to find that something happened there, or on the way there, that i would have been involved in. So, i think, just let nature take its course. If something happens that you can't do one thing, then perhaps, you can do something else.

Nothing is perfect, and evrything is made that way for a purpose. If things are perfect, there wont be anymore challenges people wont strive anymore not much to live for. I guess it is better that life is not always perfect or not perfect at all because that way we have a reason to be here to learn to live and strive and meet new challenges to think to feel and to just BE!:)

It again depends what you consider is perfect. If you take it that getting what you desired at the time it is desired as measure of perfection then well life would be far from perfect for almost all. But if you think a perfectly lived life is something that gives you things to cherish, then you can head somewhere. Now, life is also what you make of it. Dreaming too much(though dreams do have their value in our lives)without commensurate action will only leave you disillusioned. That is because you start treating your dreams as real(following in lines PDCs)and then find your real life wnating in several departments. One thing that you can do to make life meaningful i.e. near-perfect is to do a bit of self discovery. This you can do by doing a personality analysis on yourself using some of the instruments like MBTI, DiSC etc., if you are not already aware of it that is, and try to find your strengths and proclivities. Take up something where we have our nature's tuned. Then you can get closer to perfection.Like if one is tone deaf, aspiring a for a career in Music or even trying to have Music as a hobby is not going to be rewarding. Well, not that someone will so naive as that. But if one is near-abouts it is possible to get confused. Whatever I am saying I am saying from my personal experience. Nothing satisfies one as fulfilment in one's natural inclinations. Often we make the mistake of or we are compelled by peer pressure to choose something that is worldly-wise. But at the end of it all we feel empty. So, it always fruitful to follow our instincts. The real problem is that your day-to-day life compulsions force you to pick up something that is your nature then you must doi it as a hobby.

i completely agree. even a married couple will never agree on every single issue, not matter how perfect they may see each other. learning to compromise is a very good habit to learn. we are never going to get everything we want, but compromising will make every decision have a better outcome for all parties in the decision.

Kiran, this is a magnificient discussion. I like discussions like this. As for my opinion, I think that life is like a box of chocolates. One is always in for a surprise as to what's in store him/her. I've longed tell myself never to expect anything in life. Wherever possible, I go through life one day at a time and work hard for my goal. In this way, I will take things come what may. Have a nice day, Kiran and happy mylotting..

hi kiran, life is balanced,before taking birth people will caliculate their good and bad things according to that they chose their parents and life style and then take birth,according to that our life style will run, with some bad and with some good things,but be patient and leave the rest to fate, i am doing the same now left everything to fate, best of luck

Hey, Yes of course I agree, that life is never perfect, it is largely a compromise. I don't ever think that anything in this world will ever be perfect, we also have to be prepared for failures, so we won't get too discouraged when they come. Life is never perfect, it is largely a compromise

Life is not picture perfect.It is beyond doubt that we have certain preconceived notions about life and we always hope that our life goes according to our whims and fancies,but every time God has something else in store for all of us. The beauty lies in the fact that we should always accept the outcome whatsoever without any grudge or anger against any body.The negative emotions erupt in our mind when we do not have control over situations.If we cannot change it,we much learn to live with it.That is the essence of leading life soulfully.

With due respect I would say life is perfect,, and please think positive,, never say things will go wrong,, I believe everything happens the way it should happen,,once our actions and thoughts are good,, we will experience the right results,,we all are paying for our wrong deeds,, sometimes we think that God is testing us,,a few years ago I used to think the same way,, But now I know whatever happens is The the only way the almighty wishes it,,That is His plan and it cant be wrong,,In modern times we look forward to get too much,,too soon ,, too easy,, Is it not true?

I do agree that life can't be perfect. Most of the times, it is very true that we do compromise on almost many things. If we expect a house worth 10 million, we might have to settle for a house worth half a million! The real factor lies on how well you adjust to the situation

As I have often heard it said . . "we make plans and god laughs" In other words it is important to know when to let go and to be able to recognize that even the most ordinary life is special. Life may not always turn out as we plan but I think with a little hope, faith and believing we can make our lives the best we can . .and hopefully make a difference in the the lives of others.

hi kiran8. Life is not a bed or roses, and yes compromises is done every day of your life. In every decision there is a compromise. Life is not a free will. There are always things do cosider. Family Is one precious rose of the life, however, compromises with family is done every day. Work is also one precious rose of your life, and I do compromise every day there. Compromises, are indeed something we have to go through in order to make your life perfect, if it ever be...

I like this and it seems your philosophy is in many ways in tune with mine. I have a life plan so to speak, built from the dream of how I envisage my perfect life would be. Everything I do is focussed on achieving this life plan, but also in the knowledge that life changes, things don’t go your way all the time and unless you are willing to go with the flow you will soon become despondent by things which spoil your plans. The thing to remember is that although something may come along and spoil your plans it could open a whole new exciting avenue you could have never imagined.

Life is never perfect... That's what i thoughts so too kiran8... Most of things that i have planned were was never work out smoothly and succeed very well... You were right anyway... compromises and prepares for something we couldn't excepted is the best way to deal with all life failure...

I agree that life is atleast 80% compromise. We need to do a balancing act in managing good and bad things for our good and day to day affairs. We may have to lie at times to convince a few important people in order to get things done or for progress. Happy balancing !!

I agree with your observation that Life is not perfect and full of mysteries. So I guess, we just need to be ready all time.

Its true that life is totally a part of compromises and adjustments, as we all know that in every part of life may be in schools, colleges, in jobs,married life , with childrens, so happened in my life too every way i am just adjusting with all my friends, with my family members , in doing higher studies ..if my plan will not rock , so what i will go for another plan but will never feel failure .wat will u do ?
