Question

In your opinion, What do people do to try to become perfect ?

Answer 1

Because of commercials.

Well if you think about it, how many times per day is the average human bombarded with advertisements telling them that to be beautiful, popular, or to be able to "keep up with the Jones'," then you have to buy this, or wear that, or drive this car, or have this house. Honestly, it's overkill, and when you're inundated with it since childhood, it leaves a pretty subliminal impression to feel the need to "fit in perfectly."

Answer 2

I agree whit Captain...we can never have enough of what we don't need, in todays society, in order to look "normal" and accepted, one needs to look a "certain" way, an most important, act in a "normal" way...If you look closely, we have been bought by corporations, we are in a kind of vicious circle.

Answer 3

They often stop being their own self and put up many fake images and facets to become amicable in others eyes. They go to the extend of imitating and deceiving others.

What people do not realize that they try out so much in vain to gain perfection coz what actually they should be trying is improvement and learning more about inner self, raising our conscious level, becoming better individuals.

Answer 4

We do many many many things. But mostly we suppress our natural emotions and feelings, to try and fit into the 'norm' to try and lull ourselves into a false sense of security and make ourselves believe that we have no problems etc.  It all depends what you believe to be perfect aswell, perfect image = eating disorders (my sister is currently in hospital because of bulimia)..

striving for perfection is become more and more common....why cant we just allow ourselves to be human and accept the human qualities we all have.

Answer 5

The way to be perfect is to approve of everything about yourself and everything you do. Actually, it's not too difficult.

Answer 6

ha no body is perfecy unless you know a little about them but whoever are i don't really care i like the sweet normal girls who are just there selves

Answer 7

for them to become perfect, people tend to "turn into something they're not". They assume traits etc., pretend they have so much when actually they only have little, just to let things go their way.

Answer 8

It depends on peoples' priorities and, basically, whether they are motivated by the acquisition of material things, the achievements of the mind,  mastery of the physical body,  or  spiritual endeavors such as love, mercy, forgiveness, etc.

If they are materialistic, then it is through the accumulation and display of "things" that an impression of perfection is conveyed to others.    

Their occupations - i.e., doctor, lawyer,  celebrity, etc. -  also serve to complete the picture of perfection for this group.

People who are focused primarily on intellectual accomplishments find that successfully completing a degree or field of study, and then advancing to the next academic endeavor  brings them that much closer to the rank of "perfect."

Other people, through an intense involvement in  sports and other activities,  use their well-conditioned, physical bodies as the means to acquire an illusion of perfection.

"Perfection" for the athlete is measured in yards, goals, points and runs, jumps and spins,  or by mastering the steepest slope.

As for people who consider their principal purpose to be one that involves putting religious principals into action,   then it is possible that their attainment of perfection involves continually developing  those attributes.   These spiritual characteristics sometimes include  faith,joy,  forgiveness, and, most importantly, love.

Answer 9

Well since PERFECT doesn't exist...I guess it would be hard to strive to be something that's not possible.

Perfection is knowing your beautiful with a ponytail in your bed hair and no makeup.  That's beauty right there.

Answer 10

Spend way too much money on themselves
