Chapter 7 Never expect perfection

Long, long ago, there lived a king in a castle.He has seven daughters, and these seven beautiful princesses are the king's pride.Not only are they beautiful, but each of them has long black and beautiful hair.No one inside or outside the castle knew about it, so the king gave them each a hundred beautiful hairpins. One morning, the eldest princess woke up and arranged her hair with hair clips as usual, but found that a hair clip was missing, so she went to the second princess's room secretly and took a hair clip.The second princess found a hairpin missing, so she went to the third princess's room to take a hairpin; the third princess found a hairpin missing, and secretly took a hairpin from the fourth princess; the fourth princess did the same and took the fifth princess The fifth princess also took away the hairpin of the sixth princess; the sixth princess had no choice but to take away the hairpin of the seventh princess.

As a result, there are only ninety-nine hairpins left for the seventh princess.The next day, a handsome prince from their neighboring country suddenly came to the palace. He said to the king: "Yesterday my lark brought back a hairpin. I think it must belong to the princesses, and this is really a wonderful fate. I wonder which princess lost the hairpin?" When the seven princesses heard this, they all thought in their hearts: I lost it, I lost it.But there are a hundred hairpins on their heads, so they can't say it, and they are very annoyed.Only the seventh princess came out and said: I lost a hairpin.Before he finished speaking, his beautiful long hair fell loose because of the lack of a hairpin. The prince fell in love with her at a glance, and the two lived happily ever after.

The statue of Venus de Milos is an epoch-making unusual masterpiece in Greece. It has won the appreciation of the audience for its excellent carving skills, perfect artistic image, high poetry and great charm. However, her lost arms leave plenty of room for imagination, and it makes people feel that there is a breathtaking charm of beauty, exuding a beauty of regret.Once, someone wanted to connect her broken arms and put forward all kinds of whimsical ideas, thinking that if her lost arms were restored, it would definitely be more complete and more beautiful. However, is perfection necessarily perfect?Does beauty have to be complete?Venus lost her beautiful arms, but unexpectedly gained an incredible abstract artistic effect, giving people a mysterious atmosphere that is difficult to accurately describe.

Just imagine, if her arms were intact, would she still have that mysterious charm to attract and grab everyone's hearts?Will it attract so many people to study her? Losing brings people a kind of beauty of regret, but Venus with a broken arm is not afraid of losing, so he obtains more valuable artistic beauty than losing.But acknowledging the beauty of imperfection is not about not striving for it.Pursuing perfection and facing up to shortcomings is the highest state of life. ★Life is delicious★ In life, many people like to pursue perfection, but few people can pursue true perfection.So there is regret, there is pain, there is a sense of loss.In fact, this is not necessary, because there is beauty in shortcomings, and it depends on whether people can understand them.Avoiding is not necessarily the best, facing is not necessarily the most uncomfortable, being lonely is not necessarily unhappy, gaining is not necessarily lasting, losing is not necessarily no longer, turning around is not necessarily the weakest, don't rush to say to yourself that you have no choice.
