Im new to philosophy so correct me if i am wrong please.
Aristotle believed that we knew what something was by observing and proving things empirically, he believed God was this perfect sort of wondering that only thought about perfection and therefore only pondered himself and was the force that made the stars spin with them being attracted to him, i wondered how he knew God was perfection if he had never seen and observed him, as he said we could only believe in things that we observe.
I'm sorry i have rambled and probably lost most people, point is we all have our own idea of perfection it is not a shared veiw by everyone so that is what makes it not exist, when it has a shared meaning by everyone or a majority then we can call things perfection, right now, it doesnt exist.

The term only exists in a persons conception of what they think perfect is and not what they are. It is the journey that makes the search for perfection within a human mind. Try to think what an object is to be perfect and when you almost grasp that conception, ask yourself what else is missing. You will most likely find another reason why it is not perfect.

Perfection is a relative word. Each person defines perfection according to his/her own life and experiences. Perfection exists according to an individual's criteria.

Perfection is an ideal that everyone strives for. It's based on what we perseeve? (sorry my spelling sucks,) as being the ideal and often most attrative parts of all thinks mind and body. Although we all have different ideas on what these are studies have show we often look for the same qualities.
Hope this helps

We only think we know what perfection is through the society that we live.....e.g., we may think being beautifully perfect is being thin and young but in some societies the larger woman and the older are regarded with much admiration and younger thinner women aspire to be like them.

Each person carries in his or her own mind the ideal characteristics of a certain thing, but no two people will probably ever agree on what is perfection. I believe it's a very unique individualized perception and therefor doesn't really exist in and of itself.

There is no such thing as perfection, if there was perfection he/she/it would have to be liked by everyone, some would want this and some would want that which is impossible. Meaning there is no perfection unless you're thinking of perfection to one specific person.. maybe then

Because a perfect perfectionist understands that perfection can not be achived,
they are always striving for the unachiveable knowing that always aiming high improves if not perfects your work.

The perfection is what we can't do. For example, we can't do a human being and we can't remake the environment. We can also say that we are perfect, because we were made by God.
