Nothing but teh best for this woman

Something interesting about progression in life is that you become more and more pre-occupied with the need for happiness. You have struggled, worked hard, so you deserve the good life- right. You deserve a well-paying job, that you enjoy, that can earn you respect, you deserve cool and faithful friends, a man who treats you right, a house that compliments your style... the works.

But what if these things do not come? What if even after your prestigious Masters degree the job you get is still crap? What if even after doing everything possible to be the prime catch, you end up attracting less than the most appealing choice for a spouse? Do you just hang on there, or do you give them the boot, because being a prime catch, you can only end up with the prize job, car, house, man, may be even kids and in-laws....

I just think we are becoming a society of perfectionist that expects nothing but the best from everybody including our employers, mothers and children. And we are becoming less and less patient with weaknesses. A child who is a nuisance is spirited to boarding school. An annoying mother is prohibited from coming to your home, ever. A lousy husband/boyfie- give him the boot.

Only, do we ever sit to ponder on the gaping holes we have in our characters and personalities...
