Imperfect Trees

This is a story of Norm born in the  city of Queenstown.

Norm is a timid person and had less self esteem. He was born in an household where his mother had 4 jobs and she was trying hard to end meet, and his father was a drunkard. Further more, his parents wouldn’t spend time with him and he had to do all his homework by himself. And he used to get punished at home for not doing his homework & getting low grades and at school he would get punished by his teachers for the same.

And it continued, he later developed inferiority complex and he was not able to learn properly in school and he would see himself as worthless human being, which impacted his academics, social life etc

Some of us have been in Norm shoes. Not that we had same school life or that our parents wouldn’t spend time with us. But inferiority complex is identical. We compare ourselves with our class mates, friends, cousins, peers at work and down value ourselves.

One day norm decided to go the forest in search of a perfect tree. All he saw was trees with missing branches and crooked trees. And he was not able to find a perfect tree in the forest. All he saw was crooked trees. And later he visited a park, he saw the trees arranged in an array and were all perfect. Moreover, he felt that the tree in the forest where more beautiful and pleasant than the trees in the park. He later realised that so called ‘Imerfect Trees’ where the most beautiful than the artificial one’s in the park. Then, he also understood that so called ‘Imperfect’ people are more beautiful than artificial people. He understood the real meaning of perfection. He had been a long time ‘good enough’. Only in the forest he  realized it.
