PerFecTiON

Resilience and fortitude are qualities I very much admire in others. They are also qualities that I find lacking in myself. Perhaps that’s why I look up to those who manage to hold on even after a calamity. Perhaps that’s why I hold in awe those who walk on in courage even in the darkest of nights.

Whenever I encounter stories of heroism, altruistic or personal, they stir in me emotions so deep that they rock the very core of my being. And every once in a while, my faith in the human race is restored. Sometimes, it even seems possible to overcome our human condition and therefore strain towards perfection.

I have tried my best. Or else, I’ll die trying.
