The Impulse to be 'perfect'

[xise]

I think a strong conditional acceptance of the self based on perfection is an orange ray imbalance for positive philosophy as it goes against the idea of unconditional acceptance.

However, it's probably also potentially negatively polarizing as it emphasizes conditional acceptance usually based on one's abilitys/power to achieve. Also, striving for perfection without unconditional acceptance of less than perfect can generate large amounts of willpower that is also useful to move up into negative yellow.

As having an Asian immigrant parent background, this perfection distortion runs deep in these communities, and also within my own personality. I'm in the process of balancing it.
