From his early childhood, he suffered from an acute sense of dissatisfaction. He wanted everything immaculate. A speck of dirt in the couch crevice, he would shudder in disgust. Too many birthdays presents he would term them as a waste of money.
His friends called him 'perpetual faultfinder and snobbish failing to understand his real anxiety. Even a score of 98% wouldn't please him while obtaining full marks would be justified as a depreciating standard of the school.
Roger grew up, got a decent job, bought a lucrative house, and donated the excess amount to philanthropic causes. Still, the nagging dissatisfaction persisted. The poverty, the inequality used to eat him up. “If everything were perfect" he used to sigh.
In-office the credit of hard work and labor of the workers were usurped by the boss who reveled in the skyrocketing profits of the company while the actual people responsible used to languish in shadows of oblivion.
This infuriated Roger and he was about to resign just after Christmas.
On Christmas, he wished for a perfect world.
