In the reality of the world today, people have become perfectionists. That is probably the worst new evolved trait we as humans could have. We forget we are spiritual beings having a human experience or that our perfection can come off to others as rude, insensitive, stuck up, and let's face it just complete a-holes. I think the one thing your post points out (even if it is a joke!) is how we sometimes do get too wrapped up in ourselves to realize that we are being perfectionists and that we all do make mistakes, take the wrong road and get lost, go down the dark path and become scared, its who we are as spiritual beings having a human experience.
P.s. I love the 'read in between the lines' of this post as it addresses many current issues with this new and upcoming generations. I know it was originally meant for as a joke but, honestly it really does address many current issues.
