Towards Perfection and Unhappiness

It is the desire of man towards perfection which could lead to unhappiness. Based on Cognitive Theory, our sense of absolutism or the desire towards perfectionism is the cause of our unhappiness. It is to want what one cannot have such as a perfect family, a perfect relationship, and be successful in all the desire of man's undertakings. But we all know life is not simple as we think it is. Even if we desire in simplicity, so as there is an absence of privation, drudgery, and complexity, we desire a paradise, which no one has ever lived. If life cannot be perfected what we can do is to see life as it is. To open our eyes to what is near, because most of the time we tend to see those that afar, but we have failed to see what just there under our nose.
