As individuals we constantly search for perfection, weather its the perfect house, perfect job, perfect date or a perfect society and goverment. But given the fact the humans or individuals are inherently flawed, can we ever achieve this?

Perfection is a goal that is to be striven for although it can never be achieved.

I used to work for Ford Motor Company. 30 Years.
I know from experience that the automobiles and trucks were made with imperfect parts. I also know that we had a saying in Quality Control. "its good enough for a Ford"...yes it was a motto
Now the big three in the U.S. are hurting because the past is catching up to them.
I have had several lemons of my own. So I got to appreciate the system and don't blame people for not buying domestic brands.
Yes, we can achieve the level of perfection if we all would give our best effort. Its not impossible ...

well...think of it this way...we are not 'imperfect'...just 'rough edged'....if you needed a 'perfect' thing that did a perfect square out of broken glass...
you would 'converge' all the errors so they would round off to a certain desired number. So I don't think its impossible to acquire a 'perfect' or desirable goal as a whole....because errors and rough edges can 'converge' to a correct one.
Its just intuition...just like in calculus you sum small areas so they add to one 'converged' number of the area under the curve...
so with error...you 'converge' to aproximate the 'perfect' 'correct' ideal goal....if there is even such a thing.

Not until we get rid of the ego, stop trying to ACHIEVE perfection, and just BE perfect. That's why we're called human BEINGS and not human DOINGS.

No; we cannot. We all seek QUALITY, but any mature mind knows that all things break down over time.
