Perfection is a manufactured idea. Nothing we see around us is perfect. Indeed, it takes a human mind to conceive of perfection, just as it take a human mind to label something beautiful.*
Alan Lightman

Does this choice diminish me or enlarge me?**
James Hollis

There’s no perfect choice;
There’s a good choice, and the
choice that opens more options, there’s even
an accidental choice that you’re forever thankful for;
Sometimes there’s the obvious choice, though
sometimes you go with the non-obvious or the gut-choice
just because you want something different –
James Hollis’ question will
help us with every one of them.
