Daily Cascade

Is there such a thing as a perfect day?

Prompt: "Isn't it good just to be alive on a day like this?" Describe a perfect day.

I don't know what a perfect day would be like. Then, maybe if one accepts all the ups and downs, any day could be deemed perfect. I think, therefore, whether a day is perfect or not depends on our assessment of it.

Then sometimes, a simple, almost eventless day could seem perfect to some; however, if we had such days one after the other, we would be bored stiff, wouldn't we? This means a perfect day is a subjective experience because what one person considers a perfect day might differ from another's ideal day.

As to the quote in the prompt, I think it is good to be alive on any day. We are alive, according to my thinking, because it is the only thing we know and just maybe, there are a few good reasons in being alive for us to find out.

Some of those good reasons could be: we get to experience the beauty of the natural world; all the people we love who love us in return; we grow and change every day, sometimes in slow increments, other times suddenly and in a huge way; we get to help others as helping others has a built-in satisfaction in itself; then, we may experience the joy of discovery of ideas, people, and best yet, ourselves.

May all our days be perfectly satisfactory!
