Perfectly designed imperfect life

Ever wondered why a perfect life is granted to none by the omnipotent? Ever questioned his creations? Ever wondered why things are the way they are? Ever??
Let's make it prominent and comprehensible with an example.

Aryan is a young lad of seventeen. He is a smart ass and manages to be among the class toppers without putting in much efforts. He is darn good looking and girls go wacky at the mere mention of his name. His mum is a well-maintained and modern mommy who treats her son not as a 'son' but as a friend. His dad is a millionaire who, unlike other rich and well-known figures, has ample of time to devote to his family. Aryan is an athlete and is a quite good singer. He excels in almost everything he does....

Quite a perfect life huh!?

Now another story, not of some kid born with a silver spoon but of a normal kid like any one of us. A kid who may not necessarily have the best set of parents, the most tastefully organized wardrobe, the smart looks or any other thing that is quite usual for someone like Aryan. Let's talk about Sneha. She too, like Aryan is a seventeen year old girl. She doesn't come from a rich family but from a rather modest and conservative family. Her mum, a housewife - a quiet and kindhearted lady who believes every word of her husband to be as true as an oracle. Sneha's father is a man who believes that exerting pressure upon the women of the house defines his manhood and therefore, scuffles, arguments, disagreements and domestic violence are as normal and predictable in her house as the occurrence of day and night. Inspire of these adversities she manages to get herself a scholarship in that very elite school Aryan goes to. In the absence of proper training, she manages to bag many awards in several competitions. She has a knack for writing and opens doors of even better opportunities for herself through her writings....

Returning to my question: Have you ever wondered why a perfect life is granted to none by the omnipotent? Why is it that even the most happiest person has some reason to be sad? Or the most depressed person has a reason to smile?

It is because a life without imperfections or a life void of perfections hinders our progress. Think about it: Won't life become too predictable and boring if we already know what the future holds? Won't we, one day, be at a total loss of inspiration to move ahead if everything goes on just fine for us? A problem-free life is definitely what we desire, but we are more content if we earn ourselves that life.

The master planner sitting up there is indeed smart! He knows exactly how to handle us emotional fools; we, who have a balloon's heart - energized and puffed up with joy on getting everything we want and enervated and puffed out when the opposite happens. We have imperfections in life to inspire us to reach perfection. And we have perfections in our life to refrain ourselves from being imperfect!
