As a teenager, I’ve set standards about my ideal guy. He must be handsome, understanding, caring, loving and should have other values that could be summed up as perfect. I know that we all share the same experience on daydreaming about our Mr. Perfect. We girls are hoping that a perfect prince charming will come and rescue us from the towering loneliness of being single. He will dare to climb up the lonely tower and admire our long beautiful hair amidst the fact that maybe a witch or a bad wizard will cut this connection. Maybe this isn’t the exact story of our daydreams; however, this is the same thing that we want to find in a guy, a brave and perfect one. So in the process, we’ve set standards about our ideal guy. But could there really be a person alive on earth that has completed these standards? Does Mr. Perfect exist?
Let’s pretend that my Mr. Perfect, who is also at the same time my soul mate or my future husband, is right now thinking about me, his Ms. Perfect. It sounds awkward, right? This is because we are about to realize a big point in this situation. If I’m his soul mate and at the same time Ms. Perfect, this Mr. Perfect doesn’t exist!!! I wasn’t, I’m not and I never will be a perfect person. Even if we have it on vice versa, there really is no perfect guy that I could think about. Nobody was made perfect. Every human being has his own flaws. For every bright side there is always a dark side. So in short, we can sadly say that our Mr. Perfect is just an imagination and the standards we’ve set are merely guidelines on a personality check and can never be laws or a protocol. These could be an answer to the truth of Mr. Perfect’s existence when you disregard any feeling to that Mr. Unknown.
On the other hand, have you ever noticed that when someone you love is being criticized because of his flaw, you tend to defend him? You’ll tell the critic that even though the person you love is like that, he is very likable if anyone will get to know him better. When you love someone, his bad traits won’t matter anymore. You see him as a person worth wasting your life with and worth enduring his negative side for a lifetime. You see him as the “Perfect One”. So the missing link on having a Mr. Perfect is true love. If you truly love a deaf-mute person, you’ll be able to communicate with him better than any words could ever express.
Let us all remember that if Rapunzel and the prince did not fall in love the moment they met, they would simply have their parting of ways after the heroic rescue. There would be no happily ever after even if the story described the prince as a perfect guy, brave and handsome. There is no Mr. Perfect in a plain mind’s outlook but there is one perfect person when you are diagnosed carrying the sickness that they call love. Having the perfect person merely is not true love; but is when you learn to see an imperfect person perfectly.
