Perfection can’t be achieved. We can work on getting the things the best way possible, but one can’t raise the bar of perfection. As we get older we start seeing the real world, and all of the things we considered wonderful are now becoming black and white. The colors in life that we once saw are vanishing and a hole starts growing inside us. This is how John Koethe describes life and he is desperate to find a way back to his perfect life. Many of us can relate to him because we have all felt lonely and desperate at times. When things don't go our way, we start questioning life and regretting our past. What is done is done, one should be able to move on and focus on the present because life is too short to be living with regrets. In the other hand we can't forget about the past because that's what created the person we are now a days. By overcoming our past we become a stronger person which helps us make better decisions in the future.
It appears to me that John wants to be a kid again, where the hardest decision was to choose with crayon to use to draw. Now, as an adult, the decisions we take might decide the rest of our lives. Sure, life was easier when our parents took care of everything but life is made up of different stages each with positive and negatives aspects. It’s our choice if we want to enjoy and take the correct path or fantasize about the past.
