The argument runs like this: for anything that you see as imperfect, there is necessarily a proportion of perfection in it, so that a true perfection has to exist, otherwise there would be no way to imagine or reason about it.

Example: Take a keyboard, if it is broken, it is imperfect, so the perfect model would be a working one. But consider a working keyboard, it could always be better, for instance, wireless with silent buttons, or a keyboard that helps you type faster, so does that mean that there is a "perfect" model of a keyboard, or just that there is always a "better" model?

What about the universe? Is the universe perfect? Considering that it existed since the beginning of time and will exist until the end of time, is there anything it can not do, considering the universe can be cosmic or quantum, including billions of galaxies, or minute fabrications of complex energies. Is this model "perfect" or does it just continuously get "better?"

and if it only gets better, what happens when we draw a tangent proposition that anything that begins will eventually end, so that something that gets better and better has to reach a state, even in theory, that would state it couldn't possibly get better, such as a limit approaching infinity.

And even if the universe or reality was without beginning or end, isn't that in a sense perfect compared to imperfect things we can view/see, or is there some logical flaw in comparing things in time and things outside of time?

Perfection is the beginning of all things before its emergence into reality. When it reaches a solid state when one can touch, feel, see and judge than it becomes imperfect by it's very existence.

Imperfections: - My flabby arms. They used to be so toned and strong but then I started to focus on my legs and core and now they're great and my arms aren't, lol - Relationship with parents. They don't let me date so I have to lie and go behind their back. I hate it. We also aren't very close. - My lack of skills in math. I dropped so much this year it was awful. - My annoyingness. I'm loud, bossy, a bit selfish which therefore doesn't give me the charisma I want. - My acne. I have moderate acne and the majority of my friends have great skin. Even the people that had acne are getting a lot better Perfections, or at least what I lkike: - My eyes. I'm Asian but I have big, wide eyes which I think are different and cool. I'm a Pisces and we usually naturally have dreamy looking eyes which I think I have. My eyes are light brown as well so it's unique from the average dark brown Asian small eyes - My motherly attitude. I'm like the leader of my friends when we plan things to go out. I'm always checking up on people, asking others out, making sure everything's set, and everyone's okay. I also try to be close to all my friends so we have a good relationship together. I also forgive often and have mercy on people. - My figure. Even though I have flab on my core and arms, I know that I have nice curves on the side sort of like a mild hourglass, and my butt is ... nice and perky so I'm happy about that, lol. - Exercise. I try to exercise everyday and eat well. I like that I have more will power than before and that I'm watching what I eat and taking care of myself. It also helps in the long run and I feel more confident and beautiful. - My lips. I have pretty big lips and they have gotten better because I used to have an underbite which made them look awkwardly big. Now my underbite is also gone and my lips look cuter. They have a nice shape, they are rarely ever dehydrated/dry and I think I'm a pretty good kisser ;) Thanks for the confidence boost :D

Perfect for who? The predicate is subjectively relative to the 'need'. The Judgment is negative, the Will is positive and our ends are human. As we are perfectionistic in our nature and transformative in our self's subjection to/for/of its self, there is consequential super session for the new ends we conceive or conceptualize for our self, of our self. The Judgment transforms, but the Will is essentially the same, positive.

The final stage of life: Integrity versus despair.

what if i thought the perfect keyboard would be green, and you thought the perfect keyboard is blue? Can perfection be said to be subject to an individual opinion? It seems like you are looking at things as if they have infinite potential, and are trying to analyze what the rest of their potential is. This is infinitely difficult. I suggest looking at complexity theory and emergence

I think that something is perfect, if you see it that way.
