What does 'as good as it gets' mean?

Answer

Some people waste a lot of time seeking utter perfection or sheer bliss, which are very hard to come by in the real world. Pragmatists learn life is what it is--some good, some bad--and learn to accept the bad with the good. Instead of waiting for Mr. or Ms. Perfect, they fall in love with Mr. or Ms. Doing-My-Best.
