The Weight of the World

(The following words are written on the surface of the painting.)
"The world is not perfect. I am not perfect. You are not perfect because your mother is not perfect. Her teachers were not perfect. Religion is far from perfect. Your father and my father are not perfect. There are many things in this world that will never be perfect. All we can do is whatever we do. The burden of the world is that we want it perfect in our own way. It will never happen. We can, however, work toward it."
