When Things Are 'NEAR-PERFECT'

WHO wants to live 'NEAR-PERFECT'?  Mi, Moi, Mich.  WHO DOESN'T want it anyways?  When Things Are 'NEAR-PERFECT', of course life will continue to be like life itself.  Problems here and there.  Hiccups.  Mix-ups.  Blunders, if you may.  BUT alas, I'd humbly admit that I did had that rare privilege to live in a 'NEAR-PERFECT' place for over eight years.  'NEAR-PERFECT' from the perspective of living in a country WHERE you, as a tax-paying citizen, WON'T have any qualms even paying for more taxes because I was reaping the fruits as a naturalized citizen then📗📙📘

WHEN the state government is efficient with nary the slightest tinge of dishonesty OR corruption.  WHEN the government legislates laws that have the 'teeth' WHEN implemented.  WHEN even the most petty regulations CAN'T be given 'lip service', else you could be at the receiving end once they crack the whip for any breach.  WHEN the country's infrastructure is just way too efficient, you DON'T need to track the ETD's and ETA's of the metro trains.  WHEN NOT just your neighborhood BUT anywhere for that matter, [almost] everything is squeaky clean, giving you almost zero chances to trip on a broken pavement.  WHEN it's just too safe to move around anytime [even in the dead of the night] anywhere within the island-state💚💛💜

Quite funny BUT to keep this thread light, during those eight years I cherished, I just CAN'T recall finding even a corner WHERE to hide my face, if I was longing for obscurity.  WHERE else in the world WHERE all you need to put focus can be limited to your family, your health, your work, your own wellness.  OH, NOT to mention, there is practically no traffic gridlock to endure.  WHICH reminds me of the chronic traffic in various metropolitan cities like Jakarta, Mumbai, Mexico, Bangkok, just to name a few BUT I was truly blessed, for over eight years, I DIDN'T even need to buy my own car because there was NO need for it, because the transport system was way too efficient, NOT to mention that the government heavily regulated the procurement of cars to curb traffic woes😕😕😕

WHICH brings me to a realization that, regardless WHERE we live in now, let us look around all the UPSIDEs we're benefiting and take it from there.  True, we can highlight the DOWNSIDEs BUT WHAT does bring on to you?  Probably anxiety?  And more anxiety?  BUT is it worth it?  And do you deserve to endure those escalating anxieties?  Listening from the medical experts, our longevity hinges way beyond our food, our monies, our standing in society.  Instead, those 'unseen' forces like anxiety and incessant negativities can pul us down, deep into that morass❎❎❎

Our takeaway:  Much as 'NEAR-PERFECT' is most ideal, more often, you can reach that 'ideal state' light years down the road WHEREAS as you live your life now, WHAT matters most is living in the present, cherishing every minute of the present because WHEN the next day dawns, we will face a new set of opportunities a.k.a. challenges.  BTW, would you rather preempt the challenges of tomorrow instead of focusing on today's challenges?  YES dude, forget that 'NEAR-PERFECT' stuff because it can remain as such, one of those pipe dreams😡😡😡
