How funny can the searching fo perfection be? A quote from a Mulla Nasruddin story.
- An admirer of his once asked the sage “Master, why did you never marry?”
- “Well,” he replied, “In my youth I searched for the perfect woman. I spent time with many women, but they all had a flaw. One would be beautiful, but cruel. Another intelligent, but lazy. I had almost given up hope, when I met her; the perfect woman. Healthy, intelligent, sensitive, witty, beautiful, talented…she was everything I was looking for.”
- “So why did you not marry her?”
- “Odd thing,” replied the Hoja, “She was looking for the perfect man…”
