Everything is perfect somehow it depends no the way you look at it .. you are perfect somehow .. circle is perfect .. glass sphere is perfect ... earth itself is perfect ... the way you look to things is perfect ..
What is perfection ???
i mean .. in some ways circle isnt that ( Perfect ) when you look at it that you cant get out of it
You arent that perfect .. only your mind can think and etc.. but alot of things arent perfect .. you get sick etc....
It isnt about being perfect
it is about how you define *Perfect*
In Reality nothing is perfect but god

According to Aristotle: Perfection is the highest and purest degree to which something attains the function it's made for. His famous "Ultimate cause". In this light, a perfect race car would be the one that performs best, fastest, etc. In a chair: The one that permorms its funtion of seating comfortably fully.
Of course, if plato, he would tell you that perfection only exists in the pure "idea" and not in the imperfect earthly "copy" of our perception.
Kant would say that perfection lies in the field of the "noumena" or that which we can't have access to, and Schoppenhauer agrees with him on this.
I personally think that perfection lies in this present moment because it's all that there is. human perfection is unattainable in the sense of something being better than something else because perfection menas "conclusivenes" being finished, which in the deepest nature of reality nothing is finished, everything transforms and passesaway in the great whole, in the all and nothing, in the perfect potentiality of all possibilities of existence. only this: the potentiality is perfect, once it concretizes and perceived is ipso facto imperfect because it does not encompass all of reality but only a fragment just as what we can really know. Anyway, we could discuss this for hours, is a deep question.

The way things turn out is perfect on this Earth. Meaning, things are as they "perfectly" should be and events happen for a perfect reason that we may or may not understand, there is a perfect plan working things out just as they should be, things happen with perfect timing. This is pretty awesome!

Perfection is determined by the perception of the person judging. Therefore nothing can be perfect. If you think something or someone is perfect, than you probably don't have a unbiased or complete view. The only perfect thing in our universe is energy. Energy can never be lost. It could be my view is not complete though.

Nothing is perfect, and that is the beauty of it - people arent perfect, but thats a good thing - perfection is a sort of measure of control - think about it if you were perfect you wouldnt make any errors in anything - what would be the fun in that

Works of art, matters of aesthetics, etc are the only things I'd imagine could be called perfect. And even then "perfect" is probably not really the ideal term.

The only perfect thing on Earth that I can think off is a circle, everything else has its flaws.

Perfection is open to a lot of interpretation but the closest I've seen to perfection are horses.

mathematics is the most perfect thing humanity has ever devised and it rivals anything god has done.

math is a language that describes motion, change, time, energy etc.... for things we don't know, it tell us what to look for.

an obscure formula developed 200+ years ago, is now seen to describe the neuclear force perfectly and is the basis for a whole new understanding and insight of the universe - string theroy

I think that imperfection is perfect. The fact there is always something more to achieve, another goal over the horizon.
