Standard

The idea of living up to a standard is inherently doomed. When one looks for an ideal they are forgeting about their self and looking towards another's with the aim at becoming them. Again my self loses in this comparison.

I would say there is no set standard. In this case what is good for the goose has nothing to do with the gander. One can argue moral law but this is not what self is really about. I know that I am not to steal or murder. In general terms this is not limiting my self's natural inclination. One may be using their giftings to break such a moral law, but by not doing so we are not limiting the self's expression.

I know we are flawed because there is set definition of perfection within humanity. Someone may look perfect but the next certainly does not live up to the presentation. When we go below the surface we find sickness, deformity and ultimately death. Death would not come so rapidly if our systems were in pefect harmony. Leave a human body and systmes begin to fail (even turning against itself). Further, our inclination is not driven to perfection, our diet is imperfect (too much, not enough, fast food, over dieting, vitamin/mineral deficent ect), little/too much excercise, want what we don't have, want what others do have. The list just continues. To be perfect, in my quick estimation, would look like harmony in the environment, the people, the Creator who is around.

We are flawed because we will never have complete harmony. This is okay though.

 So live with no one else's standard in mind. Desire to know who you are,
