I see that the interesting and "fun" parts of life srise from the imperfections we experience in life. If we lived in a perfect world, "Garden of Eden", would you really be happy?

Remember, this is you now, as a human, not as a spirit in heaven where you can be happy in paradise. This is a human in paradise. Most CD's and movies and plays are good because of the imperfections. If you have a movie about only good things, it would be boring, I think.

Probably no. Because the imperfections make me value all the perfect things in life (if there's any).

The "Garden of Eden" was "perfect" because there was no concept of good or bad. But, the fruit from the "Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil" has been eaten.
How could we have a perfect world, with imperfect people. It's not possible.
Maybe if everyone was "normal". But "normal" is different for everyone. The only "normal" is a setting on a clothes dryer.
Likewise, "perfect" would be different according to each persons perception of "perfect". So, my world would never be "perfect" to everyone.

Yes, I could work with that. I like it when no mess happens. People think the only fun stuff is mess. That shows you how sick they are. Concerts and Cd's without anyone doing a poor job. Plays and movies with all good actors and positive plot lines., bike riding, exercising, cooking, no thinking about which job will pay the most so I can live a decent life and have a roof over my head. No need for police or monitor systems because there would be no crime. No poor people on the streets. No crazy people who have been messed up by drugs. No orphans or widows. No failing students. No shabby schools. No lonely people. No one being persecuted or shunned for loving God. The possibilities are endless.

Sure, but not equally happy all the time. What makes you think that a perfect world would be without variety, without setbacks – without "imperfections," even? If an imperfection is something that makes life more interesting, you can bet your eye a perfect world would have them.

If I were in an eternal state of euphoria, I might believe the world was perfect and then I would be happy.
But then I think of that Bee Gees song when they sing "I finally died, and the world started living." Maybe a prerequisite for having a perfect world would be on the condition that I not be a part of it. Then, I would not be around to be happy.

Yes, but we are forbidden to enter the Garden of Eden.
We must learn to make within ourselves a better world. And we can show others love and kindness. This is the goal of all life to love others as we would have them love us.

I would not, nor would I suspect that anyone else would be truly happy(Yes, the world is perfect in its imperfections)...which would mean the world would NOT be perfect, obliterating the whole argument!

No. If everythig was perfect it would be pretty boring. It would be like having love with no hate, hot with no cold, etc. If things were perfect, there would be nothing to differentiate or relate things to.

There must be constant balance in the world. With no good there is no bad and with no bad there is no good, therefore you can not have a perfect world.
