Man/Woman -Juicing -Perfection...dont miss this one!

So I remember being told in life to never expect anyone to be perfect or expect for myself to be perfect. So I figured perfect was only used to describe circles or triangles and it was something to strive towards as long as you know that it is never reached. And yet being a Virgo I am a perfectionist and somehow because of the time of my birth I have to make sure that myself, my surroundings, the people in my life are all somehow a version of perfection or I can never be truely at peace or happy. Hmm, a bit of a conflict.
So today I sat with three amazing human beings who fought for the worlds perfection and then finally my perfection and I argued against it.
I am para -phrasing:

Q: How is the world perfect when people are starving?
A: We would be bored if there wasn't someone to feed or take care of.

Q: Murder? How is that perfect?
A: In the murderers eyes, they are doing the right thing, they wouldn't do it if it was wrong to them, and we have so many laws to keep people from killing each other and they work really well considering how many people there are and we as humans are designed to kill if needed.

Q: Suicide?
A: We all decide when to die when you get down to it. Some people even hang on until they know that certain people are with them before dying. For some their life was so miserable it was worth dying for.

Q: My body isn't perfect -I would like to be super thin
A: No you don't or else you would be already. Maybe you need something to complain about, your problems aren't big enough so you obsess on your weight and your body. Get bigger problems.

Q: How come I have this voice in my head that says I'm not perfect, could never be perfect and not only that but I could do a lot better in life? That's NOT perfect.
A: Well if you think about it, isn't that voice in your head always right? Yes. I mean never ever wrong? Yes. So who is that voice? Someone other than you? No. Well then it's you who is saying this, you who has control over your life and you who has been in driving these imperfect conversations the whole time.
So if it's you driving, can't you decide where to go? Yes.
And that at times you want to go to being imperfect? Yes.
And if perfect meant being the best it can possibly be in this moment and you are the one saying all of these things, isn't that perfect?? Yes.
And everything in your life is by your own design then you and your life are perfect?
Yes, I am perfect and everything in my life is perfect.
And it can be better if I want.
I can have it anyway I want, because I already do.
What a freeing statement!!

Juicing -day four, releasing many things, physically and emotionally and that's all I will say about that. :)

Man/Woman - this course was fantastic!
Men -are linear, they like to do lists, don't like to be interrupted once a task is started because its hard for them to turn around, either violence or the threat of violence gets them to change direction, all they want to do in life is make woman happy, they are providers and they are not happy when they can't provide or are not making their woman happy. They like to be a 'good' dog, if you treat a man as good as a dog then he will be a happy, happy man. They bring fulfillment to the relationship. They don't need attention.
Woman -Thrive on attention, can multi -task, can change directions many times, can and do use threat on their men, can rule the world but would rather the men do it for them -that way everyone is happy, #1 thing that woman want -Companionship, #2 -Food, comforts, shelter, transport, #3 -luxury items -so men to make your woman happy, keep her happy, have her win and keep her in good company, even if it's not you, make sure she has lots of girlfriends around so you don't have to do it all. Women bring Promise and Fulfillment to the relationship.

So today I found out that I am perfect and all is well in the world and this weekend I sorted out that I don't need to have a man in my life to be happy and to be an accepted member of society!
HA ! Like I have ever been that anyway. Logically I knew that and yet for so long it has been told in this society that a woman should be with a man. So deep down I must not be right for being ok with that I'm alone. And in the meantime I've been making up all sorts of things about how I don't deserve love, or can't do it or blaa, blaa, blaa, when really I don't really want one or else I would do the work to be in a relationship. And kudos to all you fabulous relationships I encountered this weekend. I fell in love with your lives and I'm gonna really enjoy mine too!

Thanks for letting me rant, I hope this was an enjoyable read.
