- It is totally common and normal if we have someone whom we greatly respect and highly regard, but it is necessary to remember that no one is 100% perfect and that we should not treat anyone as if he/she is like God.

Every single person has flaws and weaknesses. By bearing this in mind, we will be more ‘accepting’ (read: less ‘crushed’!) when we happen to somehow discover a not-so-favourable thing or two about that person that we completely disagree with (or even perhaps, despise)

- What is ‘perfection’?

When people talk about ‘perfection’, many feel that it’s when someone achieves what he / she initially aims to achieve. Like when someone wishes to be a Ph.D and finally finishes the programme and gets the title.

The thing is, if a person gains the coveted Ph.D title and does little afterwards (ie. no further developments of self) then the ‘progress’ has in fact ’stopped’ for this person (such things are most likely  ‘known’ only by the person himself, though he may not even ‘realise’ his own ’stagnancy’)

The ‘process’ of struggling and striving to get up from ‘falling down’ is in fact ‘perfection’ itself. It is one’s ongoing journey where he / she continues to grow, develop and struggle through difficulties.

It’s about the process of going from A to B and to the next.

Note:
These are just some of the points I personally learned from today’s sermon by Rev. Billy Kristanto (which probably makes only 1% of what he shared today)
