If i look in my hair in the mirror and say that it is perfect should i change it.
If god lets say is perfect why would he make us unless he wanted perfect to be perfected upon.
Thats not the question, the question is should we perfect something that is already perfect.

i don't feel god is perfect for the very reason you gave
if god placed us here i have a feeling it was to learn from us all those human qualities that god cannot feel like anger, love for a mother , compassion , empathy
all these things that we have in our physical existence

Going by the definition of perfection it would be illogical to change something that is perfect because it would make it not perfect. Now, since nothing [except God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost] are perfect everything else can be improved upon. Your second question about God also assumes that God created us to replace him. You are thinking about from a mortal perspective. God is infinite, and so are we. There is nothing to replace, only to add perfection to perfection.

If something is perfect (which assumes that there are truly perfect things in the world) then it should not be changed. Point is, when people say something is perfect, they're generally wrong
Anyway, point is, you're assuming what god says is perfect; if you assume that, then no, you shouldn't change it. But there are those that don't follow that assumption.

Perfect is not perfect if it needs to be changed. Per"fect- Brought to consummation or completeness; completed; not defective nor redundant. Now perfection- The quality or state of being perfect or complete, so that nothing requisite is wanting. Its all how you preceive things if you want something perfect then you need to look for it as it is and is not going to change. If you want perfection then you get the highest degree of excellence and that means that something is willing to under go a change.

Interesting question. Should we change something that's perfect? No, but we have no choice. We are imperfect - therefore contact with perfection means that the perfection (excluding God, who is beyond the measures of negative human influence) will become imperfect because of our contact with it.

The definition of 'perfect' is subjective to individual opinion.What constitutes 'perfect'?What is one's basis for comparison? To quote the old saying 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
