‘Let your love God provide the ‘drugs’ in good times’

Editor,

Let’s say you expect 90 percent perfection out of a mate. If they give 80 percent perfection, you are going to feel totally betrayed and offended in a total way when the wheel inevitably spins around to one of those black spots that is on 20 percent of the wheel, just like they did it on purpose.

But you expect 90 percent, so you can only handle when the wheel spins black 10 percent of the time. In reality, it will appear they made one or two totally offensive mistakes — too many — on purpose.

But what happened was, they just aren’t yet at the percentage of non-mistake, non-sin-making performance levels that you expect in your dreams. They may be at 80 percent and growing, but alas, it still didn’t fit our qualifiers.

So we label them monster. We should label them upstart and up-and-coming.

Can you handle a beautiful spirit that makes mistakes 20 percent of the time until it approaches your personal 10 percent threshold limit?

Look for growth and label it perfect prematurely; when it’s bad, let God give you sedation and peace — or drugs — to cover the mistakes that come in relationships.

Let your love God provide the “drugs” in good times.

You will not find perfection.

You will find almost perfect creature people. Tons.

The question: how much shortness can I handle as my mate grows to be my customized perfect prince or princess? Can I start dating them at 60 percent perfection, 70 percent perfection? We should know our number, right?

It gets real.
