Perfection

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paVED2TFvEk

In the video, a baby is brought to play the game of Perfection by her parents. As she grows older, she is pushed into excelling in school and in violin. She then enters contests and gets trophies for her violin play. All the while through, she still plays the game of Perfection. Then she becomes an adult and enters the workforce. She exercises to maintain her weight. Eventually, it all becomes too much for her to handle. As the game of Perfection pops with all the pieces flying all over, she mentally breaks down. At the end, she is seen playing the game of Perfection as an adult. Right before the timer goes off and all the pieces jump off the board, she turns the game off.

The theme behind this video is that if you strive for perfection, you'll never reach it. Perfection is something you have to keep striving for if you want to stay caught up to it. However, you'll break down if you don't take breaks here and there. In the video, it shows her being the bridesmaid which could mean that she has to suffer watching others be happy while she struggles in her own life to be perfect. Perhaps, in the video, she spends too much time trying to be perfect that she has no time to be happy or doing things that she wants to do.

Another message is that you have to be who everyone sees as someone who does things perfectly in order to be accepted as a perfect person. There's barely any room left for you to do anything that you may want to do if you want to pursue perfection. It also means pursuing the interests of others and sacrificing your own interests. In the video, her boss throws a stack of papers on her desk. It gives the thought that even though she tries so hard to be as perfect as she can, she can never be as perfect as others may want her to be even if they themselves aren't as perfect.
