A Perfect Good [uh per-fict good]
Noun,
1. The concept of something being positive in a way that is untaintable or incorruptible.
(BTW, don’t bother looking this up as I’m pretty sure I've solidified this as a reality by sheer willpower, and created the word ‘untaintable’ in the process)
*A Perfect Good is not universally so but is personal, subjective.
ex/ Puppy breath would not be a Perfect Good to someone fitfully afraid of dogs. To a great deal of us however…puppy breath!!
*A Perfect Good can often give that ‘unconsciously close your eyes to steep in the moment’ effect.
Put simply, a Perfect Good is something positive (warm, comforting, smile-inducing, heart-lifting…) that no one can take away from you or pervert. It’s perfectly good. It’s safely yours. Most notably however, it makes you notice the NOW. The present.
This is where I casually throw in that I am naturally positive. It’s not something I have to try to be, or work at being, or find a way to be. It’s my natural default. Still, I’ve been in dark places after experiencing trauma, but I’ve so far always reset to default after I’ve healed or mourned. And through all these years of life I've come to acknowledge that I am weird. (It’s okay, we all have our thing.) So my empathy, along with my love for writing, is something else I’d like to share.
A Perfect Good is so evident to me. I see them right away! They might not be so obvious to others. To you. I think that’s normal. But they are there for you to notice. Their power is in your acknowledgement of them. And damn, do they have power! So if you don’t have the natural inclination to highlight warm fuzzy moments with Empathy-Vision (patent pending) use this blog as a reminder that they are there. That’s really all you have to know about them in order for them to do their work.
