So is many lives wasted.
Many relationships lost.
Many dreams forgotten.
That was quite a sobering depiction of how waiting for the conditions to be perfect to make a move is waiting in vain.

Isn't this the classic internal guy dilemma?

Oh yeah, my girl friend is great but if I marry her and someone better (prettier, richer, smarter...) comes along.
I am stuck with her.
So I better not marry her yet.... she finds someone else and you are waiting for another Lady to find you.
10 years later, you'd settle for...Ghanda..:) to answer your personal ad. Poor guy!
When will we all learn, perfection does not come prepackaged,it comes with instructions!
Sometimes you only have to add water and other times you have to plan, cultivate, and nurture perfection.
And sometimes, perfection never arrives but in striving for it, you get really great and you never even miss perfection!
