i hate titling

so saw the shrink today, interesting conversation... okay so if you didnt know i tend to be a bit of a perfectionist, and i hadnt thought of something i think i should have but anway... i was telling him this and he asked what perfection meant, like the definition and so i say well doing everything 100%, 100% correctly, 100% of the time... and he counters that you like to improve upon yourself and things, well yes... and if something is perfect it is basically at its pinnacle it cant be improved upon... ok yes that is true.. and furthermore once a moment has passed it was perfect because a moment passed cannot be improved upon there is no way to return to the past to improve upon that moment..yes true, interesting philosophy and frankly hard to argue with that point i might say.. however there is one thing that can be improved upon although it is the future but that hasnt happened yet so i suppose the lesson of perfectionism isnt necessarily dwelling on your lack to improve upon the past but the ability to gain knowledge from your past failures and try to prevent them from happening in the future right? okay that is my nugget for today and its not bitchy yay for you, i mean for not having to read a bitchy post, that is if anyone reads this but whatever.. toodles
