Just for a good question is perfection really possible?

Now as a point I would like to add that yes all answers are speculation only since it is going to be tough to rationalize perfection and the concept of anything being perfect.

Now for instance a person who is perfect for a role in a move is possible but to find a really perfect person in life might not be that plausible. Evolution is about life changing to constantly meet a changing environment. Humans are adaptive indeed BUT we have short life spans, disease is still a threat, and we are most certainly not a what I would consider a pinnacle life form. We are on the menu for a host of other life forms we know of for sure like tigers, bears, sharks, etc.. Likewise a bull Moose would stomp the crap out of anyone not armed with a gun. Strip us of our technology and we are weak and easy pickings.

On top of that life is all about change. What is perfect for the moment might not be the next! Life also proves that only the adaptive really succeed. When it boils down to it many a prince has wound up a pauper by raw bad luck and likewise their own self indulgence or the treachery of others.

Now for God. I know someone will go there. Let us leave it at this please, God is everything. God IS good and God IS evil. Likewise God is Perfect and Flawed by perfection. Perfection is never subject to change and cannot be changed. Perfection is a kind of atrophy or stagnation and in a way is a form of death. Everything changes around God and god cannot change and therefore isolates himself from a reality created around him that can't comprehend or communicate with. Example, in God's perfection we would not be able to speak to god or understand God speaking to us. Being perfect God would therefore be "above" us flawed beings using a cruder term. It isn't arrogance, It is more like us looking at a virus. Actually we can't be seen by God likewise since God is supposed to be everything. Well, everything appears to be this universe. Now can you commune with a mitochondria within any particular liver cell in your body? In all reality the detachment of God to us is much larger in scale and scope. I could say God as we understand him/her/it (whatever) is perfectly screwed up. And also God is Perfectly Flawed. I love a circular paradox!

OK folks! Show yer lobes! (That is a brain reference!)

perfection is perception. Everyone has a different idea of perfect. What is perfect for me may not be perfect for you. I think there is entirely to much emphasis put on the need for perfection in this world. Sure we all want things to be perfect, but everything being perfect would be boring. Sometimes its the wrong turn that leads you to something even better.

Actual perfection? Absolutely not.


Perceived perfection according to personal likes, wants, needs,
and acceptance...yup.

To be real,,,any,,and every,,,,,thing,,,can and is flawed if we look close enough within it..so Perfection as the term WITHOUT FLAW)
would be to answer no,,,we can't have a total perfection...
Now can many say and view lightly as to disprove that,,and say THATS PERFECT,,,,sure,,,as to our 'each' perspectives,,,we can sense many tings,people, thoughts, ideas, timing,,as PERFECT,,yet to define Perfect in that respect,,it would take another opinion also to find their perfection in that as well,,,and there IE WHERE YOUR FIND,,,,the imperfection's of thoughts and disagreements in perspectives.

Nothing is perfect, which is fine with me.
