Perfectionist

I find it funny when fellow Buddhist friends call me a perfectionist and overly detail-minded. I mean... aren't Buddhists supposed to be spiritual perfectionists? Thus is there the practice of the Six Perfections (Paramitas). In fact, they can take a long time to perfect - it is thus never too too early to be picky... on yourself. But forgive yourself too, after repentance - when you fail to meet your standards. Only so can you move on and improve yourself.
