it feels good to be a perfect person right? but i cannot imagine a life without my family. i cannot imagine my life without the things i have every day. i cannot imagine
a life without my son.
God is really intelligent because He just gives us what we really need in life. there'a always a balance of everything and you need to taste the ups and the downs and let you learn from it.
if you have a choice how will you choose your life to be? will you choose the perfect life?

Is there such thing as a perfect life? I think there's none and what makes life perfect is our own contentment. When we are thankful of what we already have and we don't complain. That's a good life. It may not be perfect but what's important is our own happiness and a peaceful relationship with God.

no i would not, as i know that would be impossible to have the oerfect life or try to be perfect .. as noone is perfect.. we all make mistakes and that is how w learn, and i think God gave us freewill, to choose what we want to do and let us make mistakes, i think when we mess up , that is when God want us to lean more on him and then use that bad experience for our life as a lesson.. and learn from it
and move forward .. and i am learning how to accept the bad and make the best of it and try harder.. and im so glad i dont have to try and be perfect all the time
i can be human and fail.. with out being a failure..

If I have the choice,I'd live the perfect life for me.My life is almost perfect according to my definition of perfect life for me.Cloud 9 is on my way I know.I just have to believe & think positive all the time.

good day shylade,
as far as i know there is nothing such a perfect life. however, if you were to ask me what will i am going to choose to be my choice, well, i will try to come back again as a college student wherein, i will do concentrate on my studies and ignore my parents quarrels. to give you a brief, during those times, when i was in my college years, my parents always do their quarrels. as in everyday, they always argue in-front of me and my other siblings. as a result, i always end up taking care of my siblings and cannot concentrate anymore on my studies. until my board exam has taken place. in short, i was not also passed the board. so everything goes on a domino effect. their quarrels and arguments really affects me then. i was not able to got those awards and rewards especially the title of "certified public accountant" due to those issues long time ago. but what to do now, i need to faced what my life status is.

Who doesn't want a perfect life? Of course all of us wanted a perfect life. Even if we have a choice, there's no such thing as perfect life. However, each of us has his own definition of perfect life. Yes, if I have a choice then I would choose the perfect life based on my own standards and thru God's will.

There is no perfect life, in each life is something. The only thing you can do is see it as perfect (which you can do if you don't want everything and give up things as well). It's an illusion that family or friends will always be there, so better be sure you have yourself, love yourself, build your own life so you won't end up one day empty handed. Blessings to you.

Perfect life probably is an illusion, and as in this world as long as we live, there will always be ups and downs either to the rich or poor. Although having certain standards or status in life would be admittedly make one's life far more better than others but it is not a guarantee of having a so-called perfect life.

i agree but what if perfect life is suddenly possible, will you choose it? as for me, if it means i will lose all that i have today then i will never choose a perfect life. i would rather embrace the imperfection of my life now than lose whatever i have right now especially my family and my son. thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

Well if I have a choice to choose it would be wonderful to have a splendid life free of hassles and dazzles but then I agree I cannot afford to lose the belongings that I have right now,my career which I am enjoying,my family whom I dearly treasure despite my present economic state,on the other hand it would be nice to experienced life challenges so that we will be molded to become tough individuals especially in times of adversities.Yes it is true that our creator is magnificent since he neutralized things in order to make it more meaningful.No matter what our choices are it doesn't matter what it is as long as we are happy and making the most of it....

finally someone got my point. i agree with you that while it feels good to live withour problems and the likes, the fact that we don't face that will not make us to what we are now. so i might as well deal with the imnperfection of life than to have a perfect life without what i have right now. thanks for the response and stay happy.

If I were given the choice to choose, I'd still choose to be with my family right now. Having a perfect life is no fun at all. You don't experience all the hardships, the problems and the troubles we encounter. That's what makes life so fun, even if it's not that perfect at all.

A simple, happy and complete family that makes my life complete. Since I was a child my parents are not around all the time for us that is why it is okay for me not around with them but since I have my own family right now, what I really would like to happen is be with my child all the time and I don't want that my child will experience the things that I'd experience. Thanks to God I have a complete, healthy and happy family.

If I had a choice to choose a "Perfect life", I would still choose who I am now. The statement "Perfect life" is just an Idea, an idea of how a person wants the world to be. For me, I believe in "Balance". The balance of making good decisions and bad decisions. I believe that everything happens for a reason. A persons imperfections makes our lives seem more challenging and less boring. If not because of our mistakes, how will we learn? How will we know how to compromise, appreciate, understand and start caring? If a "Perfect life" exists, will we still know how it feels to have nothing and come to realize we have everything? I for one am not contended with my life, nobody is every contented. That's the ugly truth, nothing is ever ENOUGH! But despite all the misfortunes, we as human beings have to hold on to the belief that things will get better, that there is HOPE. and I do believe in HOPE, there is nothing more beautiful than that kind of feeling. And once you get there? EVERYTHING IS JUST AS PERFECT.

If given a chance to choose a life, I'd still choose mine. The term "Perfect life" is just an Idea, an idea if what you would want your life to be. As for me, my idea of a perfect life is "Balance". A balance of Good decisions and Bad decisions. I've always believed that everything happens for a reason. Mistakes and tragedies happen so you can appreciate the little things in life, the most important things. If there was indeed a perfect life, how would we learn? How would we know how to compromise or understand or appreciate? As for the Statement "Perfect Life", I don't think there is one. I do however believe in "hope", that things will get better. My life sucks, everybody's life sucks. But things ALWAYS GET BETTER, and when that happens? EVERYTHING IS JUST AS PERFECT.

I don't know if many people who read this discussion are bible readers or even believe in God. It says in the bible that one day on earth everyone will be perfect in body, health etc. Also life will be better than today and humans will live forever.

When I was younger and much more naive, I believed that I so wanted to change my life or be magically transported to a much better life. Now that I know much better, I understand that things happen for a reason. I had my first child at an early age and I hated that life. Now we have our second child, and having a child early in life taught me how to handle having another kid. My parents were so strict on me, that I would wish I had different parents, or that they'd be transported somewhere else. But this taught me discipline, and how to avoid things that I should avoid. It taught me to be understanding of people. I may not have liked the life I used to have, but I got so many life lessons from it that I don't regret having to go through these things anymore. God always has the perfrct plan. We jst need to be patient to see what it is.

same here, i used to dream that i am a famous superstar and now i laugh about that. when we are really younger our minds are more creative. God just provide us what we need and when we experience the downs of life we learn from it. thanks for sharing your thoughts and happy mylotting!

Well, i don't think i can agree with your statement of perfect life. But i think i understand what you are trying to say. I would say this is a better life and not perfect since no one is perfect, so there will be no perfect life. So, answering your question would be yes, i want to be in a better that and i am in it. But no life is perfect, so i have people and my have our own problem but with a better life, families and friend are the one who will help us go through with it and wouldn't let us kill our self if our problem get in too deep in our heads.

hi there, what i mean is if you have a choice of a perfect life or what if it is possible to have a perfect life will you choose it? i know at present, perfect life is really impossible. we came to embrace the imperfection of life and that makes every one of us stronger. thanks for the response dear.
