Why The World Can Never Be PERFECT! Why the Wars Never End and Why Politicians Fight Everyday?
Jul 18th, 2007 by AhYap
There is no such thing as a ‘perfect world’! Because for 6 billion people who live on this fucking earth, all of them have a different definition of PERFECT. And all of them significantly contradict with each other! Your definition of perfect is different than my definition of perfect. Mahathir Mohamad’s definition of perfect is different than Abdullah Badawi’s definition of perfect! George Bush’s definition of perfect is different than Osama Bin Laden’s definition of perfect. How the world can be ‘perfect’ when everyone wants something different?
For an example, I am a non smoker and my ‘perfect world’ is that NO ONE ever smoke!
But for a smoker, his ‘perfect world’ would be something like
1. He can smoke anytime and anywhere in the world and not just the GSC and KLCC toilets (and Parliament House if he is a Malaysia politician).
2. Government will not tax on cigarettes but instead subsidizes them like they subsidize our petrol.
3. Smoking will never cause Lung Cancer but will actually enhance his health and sex power (plus some penis enlargement effect).
How the world can be ‘perfect’ when non-smokers perfect world is a world with no one smoking while smokers perfect world would be to able to smoke anywhere? Both of them will keep on fighting for their own ‘perfect’ world, according to their own definition!
Both sides will sing the same song ” … We will … keep on FIGHTiiinnng till the end… We are the Champion! … We are the Champion! …”
Each religion in this world has their own definition of ‘perfect’. Muslims say that there is only 1 God who created the world and His name is Allah. Christians say that there is also 1 God who created the world but His name IS NOT Allah. Then Hinduism say that there are a lot of Gods who created the world together. But Buddhists say that there in No God who created this world.
Muslims perfect world would be everyone’s a Muslim and follows Islam’s teachings. Christian’s perfect world would be everyone’s Christian and follows Christian’s teachings. So as Hinduism and Buddhists. How the fuck can the world be ‘perfect’ when everyone has different definition for ‘perfect’? [And also definition of 'sin' when it comes to religion]
More examples -
When you want to buy something, you want to buy at the cheapest price. But the guy who sell you want to sell you the HIGHEST price!
When you are driving down the traffic light, you wish that the light is GREEN for you. Put it another way, you selfish little bastard wish the other sides got RED! But the drivers at the other sides wish that you got the RED instead so he can have the GREEN! (The other side are also selfish bastards)
51% of Americans voted for George Bush so he is now the President of America. 49% voted against him! See how contradict they think regarding the ‘perfect’ America.
A chicken (real chicken, not the fake chicken) perfect world would be a world that human don’t eat chicken BUT the human perfect world be more KFCs and Ramlee Burgers.
Wow! I never thought of that until now. If chickens and animals also have their own definitions of perfect world, there will be 6 billion people + XXX billion animals that all have different definitions for a perfect world. See how fucked up it can be.
Cow perfect world would be that no human drink cow’s milk and girls don’t like cheese cake while human perfect world would be a cow with unlimited milk.
Girls perfect world is a lot of shoes and handbags. Guys perfect world is no need to go shopping with his girlfriend and suffocate inside the extremely crowded Vinci Shop.
I hope that my mum will take care of her health by taking control of her diet. But she prefer her curry mee and nasi lemak than her health.
I wish that “Lost” (the movie series) will have Lost Season 4, Season 5 and Season 6 Finale right now so I don’t need to wait for 16 episodes in 2008, 16 in 2009 and 16 in 2010! But the producers prefer to do it the slow way to make more money.
Going more sarcastic (but very true). A Johor girl hopes that there are no rapist in Johor but a Johor rapist hopes that he can rape anyone he wants without being caught by the police! [Note: 'rape anyone he wants' not 'rape everyone' because even rapists has their own definition of 'perfect' victims. Different rapists have different taste. Some like girls wearing nurse uniform because he watches too many Japanese AV while some like smaller size girls because he consciously or subconsciously knows that he can control her easier than a BIG one. It is very shameful if you try to rape someone and end up being 'raped' back with a stick on your back hole and your balls broken.]
Americans hope that all terrorists are dead while terrorists hope that all Americans are dead.
Everyone wants to be the richest man in the world but there is only 1 richest man in the world at anytime out of the 6 billion people in this world.
Streamyx users want fast torrents download but TM Net hopes their customers don’t know how to use torrent so they can save a lot of money in bandwidth.
People hope that they can go to Heaven but no one wants to die. [off topic]

Every single “want” that we want, there will always be someone in this world that don’t want it. And for every single “don’t want” that we don’t want, there will always be someone in this world that want it. How the fuck can be world be perfect?
So how do we make this world a ‘better’ world when what I want is not want you want? How to live in this world that everyone has a different definition of ‘perfect’?
Important Question: “How can we live happily in this world?”
Since you know someone can be 180 degrees different that you. Don’t INSIST on things to be the way you want it to be. Flexible with the things you don’t like. Flexible with the things that contradict with your perfect definition.
We need to enlarge our heart so BIG that it RESPECTS everything and ACCEPTS everything. It respects everything that we don’t like and it accepts everything that is contradict with our perfect definition.
It is OK if the guy in front of you drive slow. It is OK if your neighbor is a Muslim while you are a Christian (or anyway round). It is OK if someone says you are stupid or talk bad about you. More sarcastically, it is OK if someone wants to kill you. Although not logical, but imagine you really allow people to kill you and you won’t feel angry, how happy can you be while you are living? The point is to see how much space you are going to give to people that are different than you. How much can you tolerate. [If you are a Muslim, can you tolerate people burning Al-Quran in front of you? If you are a Christian, can you tolerate someone burning Jesus picture in front of you? Wars always started because they can't tolerate these. If you really stick to your religion, why do you need to feel angry with those. You should have known very clearly that they will go to Hell when they die. God will do his job.]
I am not telling you to let a rapist rape you tomorrow and let a terrorist kill you tomorrow. I am telling you that if you can accept those things, your happiness in this world will be the maximum. People at this level can be happy even other people make them suffer. Maybe we don’t need to get to the extreme, maybe half? Many of us live far from it. Can’t even tolerate little thing like a ‘look’ from a stranger or a horn from the back driver. News like the Korean student got beaten to death by 2 Malaysians is a good example.
The less definitions you have on how the perfect world should be and the less you INSIST on things to be some way, the more happy you will be living in this never-can-be-perfect world.
When one day your definition of perfect become nil (zero), that’s the day you live in the perfect world. By then you will be happy and satisfy with everything. No one can ever pissed you off even if they cut off your legs and hands and put into the refrigerator. This is going too far, but that’s the correct direction. If you can reach half way, you are doing extremely well.
Your happiness doesn’t require any requirements and criteria. You no longer need things and people to be the way you want them to be. You don’t need the world to change a thing before you can be happy!
Enjoy your life!
hey ah yap..it seems that your perfect world is a buddhism world wo..hehe..
should be ‘rapist’ not rapper. rapper is a singer who raps
Wahhahaha. Thanks for pointing out the mistake.
Let me rap for you. “AhYap is a Sohai, Sohai, So So Hai. Uh Yeah!
anyway, what a nice thought you have…
there is no PERFECT in world as long as you didnt stand on one view. that is same as a katak under a well which hasnt sees the world yet. why dont u try to hold your stand in one view of perspective when seeing things? cheers up man!
Nice post, but you still mention TM is slow again.
Well, perfect world for me is when I am not longer in this world. Absolutely perfect. 
Ah, nice thought…
)
but your views and method are also not PERFECT. You hope to ignore everything like gautama and escape into your own Nothingness. Let others sweat out their meaningless life which have kept the world going, but the world is in a big mess, environmentally, politically and divided hopelessly by religions.
There must be HOPE in life that something PERFECT awaits us…(though not achieved via illogical terrorist killing, it is vengeful anger release in them to ji hat .)
Anyhow, keep thinking, and i HOPE you are GIVEN true enlightenment. (Life here can be unfair cos God seems to favor and protect some over others. The truth might be that it is not time yet for God to take charge again… and so there is HOPE!!!
it does really sounds like buddha’s world man..
But what you said is true, when you demand lesser, the world will seems more perfect to you.
Enjoy reading and digesting it!
but cutting down the perfect definition to exchange for happiness means lower down the expectation in every single aspect in life. This could be dangerous where you start to become ignorance to everything around you in order not to get irritated with other’s acting. Human being takes thing for granted. This is a world where the fittest survives. If you allow other to step on your tail without any objection, there become more ‘rapist’ in the world. Most importantly is to work together to create a list of “goodwill” acting. I don’t expect the list could be a ‘perfect’ one, but it satisfies the majorities should be good enough. We are not living alone, ah Yap dai lou!
“Manusia sengsara kerana nafsu”.
boy every single reply have their own “wants”, heh what a good example to the original post…
guys if you wanna fix the world , fix the guy in the mirror first…
You are really a talker.. yat lau ler.. support to the max
[...] then, i recalled Yap’s blogpost about perfect… i recalled yap’s yelling that there is no such thing as a perfect world! i recalled [...]
The perfect world can never exist. If it is perfect it;s called paradise.
Just choose the place you think is the closest to your definition of perfect. To me a place for me to make money and play dota is the perfect world. But nowadays making money also involved politics, religion and play dota also got racist dota player.
So the world can never be perfect. Ayumi hamasaki is close to perfect also look like a freaking doll. So it is the imperfection that makes the world nice to live in.
haha.. i like wat he mentioned on this blog.. the world can never be perfect.. hehe.. btw how old r u?
Simple facts but true. We do not need to do anything if world is not perfect. (You can still try anyway but still not the main point)
What Ah Yap means here is that we need to have understanding whether if it is good or bad. And that makes a hapiness at least within oneself. That simple. Very nice simple blog.
