Simplified meaning
Trying to be perfect is really annoying and bothersome, and sometimes it's not worth the trouble. Think about someone who stops smoking because they want to be healthy. They quit smoking, but it means they might have to find other ways to deal with stress. They might miss the simple pleasure or relaxation they used to get from a cigarette, even if smoking is bad for them. In the same way, trying too hard to be flawless in everything can take away simple joys or comforts. It's a reminder that striving for perfection can sometimes make life more complicated and less enjoyable. It's okay to have some imperfections and still find happiness in those small, imperfect moments.
