Jonathan Livingston Seagull - a story

This presentation of my writings on this fable is dedicated to my Best Friend , who suggested me reading it.
This is the first story book, I have ever read at early hours i.e. 2.30AM to 4.58AM :)
Thanks much for my dearest friend for her gift to me i.e. her suggestion.

An Inspirational fable about a seagull who learnt about the life and flight and fight to outcast the limits of flight. The story reveals the theory of self-perfection, i.e. what is self perfection and how can it be achieved. It added to my theory I have presented in my older posts as follows:

An amalgam of smile and open expressive words and heartful contribution bring a charm across your cool personality n calm life - These are the characters of ideal personality and ideal life as per me

I beleive in it and always trying to follow it to reach that ideality... :-)

If we are not ideal, atleast we can try to be...

Lt (Human ) = 1
Life->ideal

The story conveys a lot of inspiring quotes. I am presenting some of the line from the book which reached the depth of my mind.

" Heaven is not a place, and it is not a time. Heaven is being perfect." - The second most favorite line

"The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly.
Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly."

"If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?"  (This sentence is very difficult for me to analyze ;) )

"whatever stands against the freedom must be set aside, be it ritual or superstition or limitation in any form."

"You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves."

"Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly." - the line which I like the most.

Every living being is born to live for a reason, not just to eat and sleep. The meaning of our living on Earth is justified when we fix a goal and learn to find Love, Kind, Joy in acquiring the achievements. We are appreciated for our achievement when we have the perfection in the outcome. The failures or comments coming in the way of acquiring perfection should only serve us as a driving force to learn more and more. There are no limits for perfection and thus our life is ever learning process to achieve 100% of it.
