... but I would imagine that seeing the perfection in all things would be pretty far along the path? We can certainly try at it, but there are still many tragedies in this world that still cause catalytic action in me.

I agree that this realization let alone its embodiment would be far along the path. Certainly I can say that it is still just a concept for me with many layers yet to penetrate.

We can only work with what we have and where we are at.

And therein, in my thinking, lies wisdom.

Also I see people calling out for emotional support in this world. I see it all the time.

I wonder if this calling out is not a calling for acceptance rather than support, in which there may be a fine line of difference. Acceptance would need to include acceptance of self. And in lieu of that, we reach out to find it elsewhere. I am not saying that one must come first, rather, it may be more multidimensional that a linear progression. It could be that, a person who feels unaccepted (or ostracized, not fitting in, persecuted, etc,) would gain much relief and therefore the lifting of paralysis and the ability to move forward by being supported; and by the same token, if somehow acceptance of self is achieved, then the acceptance of the outer world is not needed. And though these are two possibilities, they constitute an infinite number of ways to navigate to the result.
