THIS SECOND BLOG: Is from the Preface of my book "BECOME PERFECT."

                                                         Preface
Do you believe in human perfection? If not, why not? Are you like those who believe such thought is foolishness and a waste of time? If perfection were possible, would becoming perfect be entirely too much trouble, I mean, based on some likelihood of a personal cost? Would there be any value in becoming perfect? If you have thought about it, what type of person do you think a perfect human would be? Would they even be likable or beneficial? How would you describe a perfect human being?

Would they be fat, skinny, black complexion, white complexion or maybe something in between? Would this person be smart and funny, pretty or handsome, strong or weak, beauty or geek, or something altogether different? Or would they be tall and shaped in the manner that television suggests is a perfect build for a human being? In your thinking, would physical attributes have anything at all to do with a human being who is perfect? If becoming perfect were possible, is this something that you would consider as desirable? If it were possible are you interested? In my search for a meaningful life, the search has produced what some say are interesting answers to these questions. So I put it in a book. Perhaps these answers will have meaning in your own search. Here are some teasers of what is in this book.

First, there is such a thing as truth and it is actually not gray, as many people desire. Truth is actually very plain. Truth does not depend upon you having heard it at all. Or, that you have heard it over and over again, framed or formed by some type of brainwashing and social indoctrination. For truth does not require anyone’s belief or explanation for it to remain what it is. In the absence of belief, truth remains unchanged. Though revealed or not, heard or not. The earth is not flat though believed flat until truth was revealed. Belief never mattered for roundness to be truth.

Second, if you let it, truth leads to a meaningful life. When one arrives at the doorway of a meaningful life, what is found behind the door is also truth. Third, when you apprehend what is truth, a meaningful life can be attained. You will absolutely become a different person than you were yesterday, if you were not already engaged in truth. Fourth and final tidbit – you can become perfect, which has nothing at all to do with the physiological and has everything to do with God and the things of truth. God desires that we can become perfect, that we also live a meaningful life daily. And God has furnished the way for perfection to happen if this is something that we also desire.
