Summary

This quote emphasizes the subjective nature of defining certain concepts, particularly ones that lack a concrete meaning. It questions the importance of striving for an ideal state that individuals may never agree upon. Instead, it suggests that chasing perfection and external validation should not be prioritized over learning to love oneself and embracing the uniqueness of the person inhabiting their own body. It reinforces the idea that one's perception of what is perfect should be a personal decision, not dictated by others.
