Why is it that we, as human beings, don't wish for things to be perfect? Why do we prefer a little sin mixed in with our righteousness? Why is the "bad boy" image so attractive? Why is there such a thing as "too much of a good thing"? Or something being "too perfect"? Why do we scrape off the frosting on our cake? Why do we hate "little miss

Why do we scrape off the frosting on our cake?

Huh? The rest made sense and made for a thought-provoking post, but I don't understand this one.

LOL sorry for being obscure.

All I meant was that most people, when they get a piece of cake with sugary frosting, scrape the frosting off and don't eat it because it's too sugary.

Don't worry! One day you'll be perfect and eat JUST frosting!! ;-)

I think we're all still deceived. We have a certain amout of faith in the truth but in our remaining doubt we embrace what is false as if it were truth.
