For something to exist, it must have qualities. And those qualities can be helpful to the entity in existence to advance it's cause, or they can be a hindrance. Moreover some qualities may be helpful to attain some ends, and may be an obstacle in others. Also the qualities of the entity in particular, could be evaluated differently by other entities that have different goals at hand.

To understand the subjectivity of perfection/imperfection better, I'll use an example. Let's suppose I have a rival that wants to make the business deal I'm interested in. The fact that my rival is less able to effectively make business is not an imperfection to me as it is to him, because it's something that makes me win the deal.

First let's say, that existence and identity are two different things. Existence is existence - it can be judged or described only "from the side". Virus exists, but what does it know about it? It doesn't ask questions - it exists.Only humans ask this type of questrions. Dog exists, aardwark exists and they don't give a sXXt about this sort of things. They live by a given moment, eat or be eaten, law of the jungle and that type of things. Asking questions about your existence requires brains.

Identity - that's something else. Identity is something more human and, as we all know - to err is human, so aberrations and imperfections are inevitable. Even more - the scales, that we use for measuring perfection can be wrong. Even th term "perfect" identity is unclear. Depends whom you ask.
