Promethazine in a Baby Bottle
Should we teach our children to pursue perfection, or just do their best? Title inspired by J. Cole

Unattainable Lady

Perfection may sound lovely

But it's hard to maintain.

It may even be a hard

burden to bear, especially

for imperfect beings such as

ourselves, who by nature are imperfect in our actions,

thoughts, words and deeds.

To try to train a child

to be perfect, I feel,

would most definitely

end up disastrously...

with a frustrated child,

and a parent unable to give

to his or her child, support,

love, discipline, care and attention - what they really need.

I'd rather teach my child, or

any child to study hard and

just do the best he or she can do. I'd rather the child's mind healthy than for him or her to

be driven mad. Truth, I've seen and heard of many youth who

have chased the unattainable

lady perfection turn crazy

over the years.
