I'll take a detour before embarking on context this post's title takes its inspiration from.
Imperfections are what makes us beautifully-unique & thus need to be embraced/encouraged. It could be our eccentricities, vulnerabilities, preference of arts over say maths etc or at an ephemeral level facial incongruities like buck-tooth, freckles etc.
Modern day marketing/advertising fuels our quest towards perfection to belong to a revered coterie - which perhaps serves economic interests more than any self-goals
Now, coming back to the topic of this post i.e. choice of District vs Picaddily line. Former is an obvious choice for any time-resource optimization. However, latter is an absolute imperfect choice:
+ runs slow
+ old rickety coaches
+ poor teleco signal coverage
But..... for the people traveling - the latter has people vacationing with excited relaxation. Bright faces, enthusiasm, often traveling their partners/family, thrill of exploration & not getting separated in the crowd...
Even the office shuttle seldom runs on time!Also, the Ost train station is insulated from city, pickled-in-time
This takes away some of the strain of corporate mad-race & daily grime of the clock-work schedules. Breather or a window into the world - as it should be...
Then, there's this Wall graffiti visible right before train pulls into Acton Town station, of a young kid hugging to his mother - making one heartache even more, pining for the warmth of the familiar albiet sub-optimal way of life called home.
