       This probably won’t be easy because it requires us to relinquish our pride. That pride that has built up inside of ourselves, that self-righteousness. It needs to go. And the more perfectionistic a person is, the harder this is going to be. Perfectionism is dumb really because nothing in this world is absolutely perfect. Even your English Bible translation has some errors in it. Once we begin the process of giving up our pride then, we can really start to experience life and all that it has to offer. We can increase our level of happiness. This is because it feels good to admit when we are wrong. It brings healing to even long-drawn out situations. It makes God happy. It makes it so that each of us are seen in a more realistic light, and not some hyped up, artificial light that we, or even others, have created about us. It makes us relatable to others so that our personhood is not lifted up on some pedestal for all to see. People know we are human, and then we can relax. We can relax because we don’t have to keep aiming at that perfectionistic bar that has been set so high.
