After reading through Sei Shonagon's lists, I agree with some of her opinions. In particular, I agree with two things in her list:
" A guest who arrives when you have something urgent to do, and stays talking for ages" is infuriating. I have this problem on a daily basis. I find it hard to leave the conversation because every time they talk, they keep rambling from one point to another without ever stopping. One time, a friend of my grandma was visiting us and I was in the car with her. She rambles on for about 2 hours and I had to pretend that I was tired and I needed to sleep to stop her from talking. I felt a little rude but it has to be done.
"A person who is in no way eccentric or imperfect, who is superior in both mind and body, and who remains flawless all his life". I find this also to be true. Not a single person I have met is perfect in every way. Trying to be perfect or believing that oneself is perfect and flawless would only lead to a miserable life in my opinion.
