Perfection is not of this world. But near perfection is all around us.
In nature, is there anything more near perfect than the Monterey Peninsula? The sea, the coast, the mountains, the vegetation, the sounds, the smells and the weather all contribute mightily to a landscape on earth that is unsurpassed anywhere.
In marriage (not including my own), was there a more near perfect marriage than Nellie and John Wooden? No explanation is needed. Read previous blog.
In government, is democracy as exercised in the USA as near perfect a form of government as there is anywhere or at anytime? Yes. As Alexis de Tocqueville said, "Democracy and socialism have nothing in common except one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude."
In religion, is there a more near perfect faith than belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour?
In the female sex (not including my wife and daughter), is (was) there a more near perfect lady (grace, brains and looks) than Sophia Loren in her prime and even now? Cate Blanchett/Grace Kelly/Audrey Hepburn, are close.
In baseball, is there a more near perfect baseball city in America than St. Louis where appreciative St. Louisans even cheer the opposition on good plays? Boston, a close second.
And in golf, is there a more near perfect union of hands on a putter shaft than PGA professional Steve Stricker's as pictured above? I don't think so.
So, what's near perfect in your life?
