The Perfect Man



When Jesus sat his disciples atop a much unknown mountain, one sunny Sunday, he forgot to include this statement in his weekly words of wisdom – Blessed are those who hate their job for they will get paid well for it.Did I hear someone yell – Blasphemy...well I hate to disagree. I get paid well and I well don't hate my job but it rather bores me. Any woman in my place would be quite excited to know that she shares her breathing space with men who value money and evaluate it for a living. Imagine the shopping sprees, if you manage to sink your teeth into the young hot shots and manage to suck every ounce of blood and credit point. But alas, where these men fail to garner your attention is the charm, panache and well sexual preference.Believe me all of this (none to my misfortune). I rather consider the whole affair a quest like the Holy Grail. In short, every woman (and I mean every woman) searches for THE PERFECT MAN – looks, charm, credit card packed wallet and well a trouser-full of you-know-what. However, in search of THE PERFECT MAN , we find ourselves quite drawn to the brash, unabashed, opinionated, unkempt, self-made man. (The trouser-full of you-know-what somehow never changed for me; here I speak for myself alone). Perfection is all about perception, I guess. So is the ideal a fake - a clever ruse to identify the gecko from the chameleon??? Perhaps, a lie detector test for the weak and unhinged.There is a certain appreciation for a man (or woman) who refuses to change his (or her) core values for the sake of another. But here I need to include a much debated thought - is change for the sake of change, right ? or is change with a purpose to keep things balanced, fatal to self? Rilke said "Life is lived in transformation". So it really wouldn't mater what the reason for the transformation is, right? For you are living life to its fullest with every change you make, right from the person you share your bed with to the number of sugar cubes you add to your tea.. (Note: I provide questions. These however, aren't rhetorical but rather I would appreciate no feedback on the matter. I repeat - NO FEEDBACK REQUIRED) .... inconclusive....
