A li'l lint ain't doing no harm

As you are rushing to work all clad in a clean black suit or a dress have you gotten jiffy over a small wisp of lint lurking on your shoulder? You turn around and try to squeeze all your visual capacities to find the exact location of that lint, bothersome.....
...... it's right there on your shoulder, you can see it but don't know it's exact location and can't reach it.It is in your field of vision just short of the blindspot. Restlessness. Discomfort. Impatience.
Wondering whether this bit of lint will screw up your morning. Doesn't look neat, does it?
Well what if we just let the lint be. How much of trouble would it be to just let the lint be rather than squirming your eyes in trying to locate it, twisting your arm in trying to remove it and shuddering in constant fear whether there isn't another little bit of it lurking close by which you missed!
Imperfection often brings in peace. Any thoughts?

i think this is a situation of using the inapproriate tool to fix the machine! what if you had asked your friend to remove the lint? what if you just removed the shirt and used the lint remover?

i think perfection or inperfection has nothing to do with peace. if inperfection really brought peace - woudn't world be a very peaceful place?

perfection bring the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction..which is being at peace with yourselves...so that contradicts your hypothesis..
